> Which should the range() definition be, in your words? In terms of ABCs, range(..) is a Sized Iterable in the current implementation. It is not a Sequence because it is not a Container and does not support slicing. The idea to support x in range(..) was discussed last year [1] and appears to have been accepted but not implemented. I understand that slicing support is in the works. [2] I believe it would make sense to turn range(..) into a Sequence. Here are my reasons: 1. It will be easy to explain what range(..) is: "a sequence of integers from start to stop, excluding stop, skipping step". 2. There will be fewer 2 to 3 incompatibilities.
