[portland] Step Value in range()

[kirby urner]

The popular Numeric package, also NumPy, has arange as a built-in,
allowing just what you suggest.

I like installing VPython (Visual Python) from VPython.org, as that'll
give you a working Numeric right out of the box, plus these other cool
tools, including plots (very simple, but there're plenty of other
add-ons for fancy).

Relevant (sort of):

Or do stuff like:

for x in [(1.00 + n * 0.01) for n in range(11)]

'n stuff.

IDLE 1.2.1
>>> [(1.00 + n * 0.01) for n in range(11)]
[1.0, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1.04, 1.05, 1.0600000000000001,
1.0700000000000001, 1.0800000000000001, 1.0900000000000001,
1.1000000000000001]
