You know the other funny thing? Even people who understand this about Python 3 ranges, many assume that python 2 xrange was more similar to your latter example (possibly caused by the fact that python 2 had other things such as dict.iteritems which _were_ mere iterators) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
