There's always the itertools solution:

import itertools
def rangeInThirds(start,end):
   for whole, frac in itertools.product(range(start,end), (0, 0.3, 0.6)):
       yield whole + frac

The simplist way is to use a list comprehension:
[whole + frac for whole in xrange(start, end) for frac in [0, 0.3, 0.6]]

Then you just need to turn the iterable (generator in the first case,
list in the second into your "array".
