years = ["199%s" % x for x in range(0,10)] + \
    ["200%s" % x for x in range(0,10)]

Sorry for the line continuation, my news reader insists on breaking the
line. In your editor, just delete the "\" and line break to make it a
single line.


If you don't like that solution, here's a better one:

years = [str(1990 + n) for n in range(20)]

Or there's this:

years = [str(n) for n in range(1990, 2010)]

Or this one:

years = map(str, range(1990, 2010))
