[Tutor] range efficiency

[Jim Mooney]

If I'm using a variable-dependent range in a for loop, is Python smart
enough to figure the variable once so I don't have to hoist it up?

That is for c in range(0,x+2), is x+2 figured once or every time
through the loop? I'm assuming it's once but I like to verify.

I'll figure this myself once I get an editor I like with a profiler,
but I'm still trying editors and don't want to spend all my time on
them. So far I'm in between too simple, overkill, or buggy. And I
don't want anything that uses Java. I'm allergic to Java ;')
