(+ some warning)<br><br>This is how I think it should work:<br>>>>range(0, 1, 0.1)<br>[0.0, 0.10000000000000001, 0.20000000000000001, 0.29999999999999999, 0.40000000000000002, 0.5, 0.59999999999999998, 0.69999999999999996, 0.80000000000000004, 0.90000000000000002]<br><br>I got these results by:<br>>>>[x/10. for x in xrange(10)]<br><br>I'm not looking for alternatives, just for the
reason that it works this way.<br></div></div><br>
