I think Mark's point is that the code snippet given isn't a full
replacement for xrange, since it doesn't support negative step sizes, nor
does

Assuming that I am correct, can I create myself a login on the bugs
tracker and re-open the issue to get this sorted?
Definitely not. The issue you are looking at has been fixed; whatever
your issue is (you didn't state it clearly), it must be a different
one. So if you are going to report any

It is considered best practice (or at least sensible practice) to include
a relevant URL in your post. This will maximise the num

Sorry if this is the wrong ng/ml, but thought I'd better flag this up
