Just to see if I can write a list comprehension :

>>>y = [ x/100.0  for x in range( 100 , 100000 , 455 ) ]
>>> def p( n ) :
...     return "%.2f" % n
...
>>> print map( p , y )

(that 'p' function was just to truncate the output to 2 decimal
 places;  a side effect of this was to generate a list of strings,
 hence the quotes in the output)
