Not redundant, no. But less calling for improvement.

I understand that. Still, having two spellings for "for ... in ...", one
for Python, one for C, looks better than a completely different syntax
that just starts with "for". So I vote for
for x in iterable:
and
for x in 1 < x <= 5:
instead of the new
for 1 < x <= 5:
purely for readability (and obviously keeping the old "from" spelling for
compatibility).
