So we can support other sequence methods. (I think.) Personally, I think that range should be just an easy to iterate over a sequence (set, series, or whatever the term is) of integers (even if they're huge). I don't think we need to turn it into a sequence. That fits in your brain. If you need to do something more advanced than counting, there are other things out there! Where are the use cases for range slicing, anyway? -- Cheers, Benjamin Peterson _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
