[0..9] list (range) syntax

[Michal Bozon]

many Python newcomers are confused why
range(10), does not include 10.

If there was a proposal for the new
syntax for ranges, which is known
e.g. from Pascal or Ruby...

>>> [0..10]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

...is there a chance to be approved ?

We have had a short discussion on it
at the irc, I hope that the fact
that nobody agreed it is a good idea
was just an accident :)

 -m.

PS:
to dream further..

>>> (0..10)
<generator object at 0xb7618dac>

or

>>> (0..10)
(0..10)

or

>>> (0..10)
range(0, 11)
