Hello all,

I am want to calculate the range of a vector. I saw that someone asked for range() in 2011, but was it ever created? https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/288

Response at the time was to use df.describe(). But df.describe() gives all the 5-number summary statistics, but I DON'T WANT wall the extra stuff I didn't ask for. I was expected a numerical number. I can use that to feed into another function.

It exists in Matlab and R, why not in Python? I'm quite frustrated every time I need to calculate the range.

Thanks in advance.
