xrange

[Bryan]

in 2.3, what is the best way to write this:

for i in xrange(100): print 'Hello'

i used timeit and it seems that repeat is about 10% faster.

timeit -s"from itertools import repeat" "for i in repeat(None, 100): pass"
100000 loops, best of 3: 10.4 usec per loop

timeit "for i in xrange(100): pass"
100000 loops, best of 3: 11.6 usec per loop

will xrange be obsoleted?  what is the best idiom for repeating a loop n
times in 2.3 now where you don't care about the index value?

thanks,

bryan
