No, I haven't followed the discussion... but you asked 
about an implementation; I'm using the one below.

def frange(start, end=None, inc=None):
    "A range function, that does accept float increments..."

    if end == None:
        end = start + 0.0
        start = 0.0

    if inc == None:
        inc = 1.0

    L = [start]
    while L[-1] + inc < end:
        L.append(L[-1] + inc)

    return L
