[Python-Dev] Inclusive Range

[Eviatar Bach]

Hello,

I have a proposal of making the range() function inclusive; that is,
range(3) would generate 0, 1, 2, and 3, as opposed to 0, 1, and 2. Not only
is it more intuitive, it also seems to be used often, with coders often
writing range(0, example+1) to get the intended result. It would be easy to
implement, and though significant, is not any more drastic than changing
print to a function in Python 3. Of course, if this were done, slicing
behaviour would have to be adjusted accordingly.

What are your thoughts?
