Ned Batchelder added the comment: (By the time I got to the source, the word "virtual" had been removed...) Attached is a patch to make the help read: | range(stop) -> range object | range(start, stop[, step]) -> range object | | Return an object that produces a sequence of integers from start (inclusive) | to stop (exclusive) by step. range(i, j) produces i, i+1, i+2, ..., j-1. | start defaults to 0, and stop is omitted! range(4) produces 0, 1, 2, 3. | These are exactly the valid indices for a list of 4 elements. | When step is given, it specifies the increment (or decrement). ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file39163/22785.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22785> _______________________________________
