Any plans to make range a valid base class to build upon in future releases?
I suppose it wouldn't very difficult to make range subclassable. You can try writing a patch if you want: http://docs.python.org/devguide/
I was just about to suggest that making range subclassable would be an alternative to extending the current class. As far as I know, there is no principled reason why not, unlike Nonetype and bool. -- Terry Jan Reedy
