Ignore this bit. IDRC. It was a deliberate choice not to let something range(0.0, 1.0, 0.1) work to give [0.0, 0.1, ...], since the usual floating-point difficulties give uncertainty about the endpoint. That float arguments were allowed (and silently truncated to integers) is merely unfortunate. :) And it's no longer permitted in 2.7; I wouldn't want to go back to permitting float arguments here. I'll set this to pending; it should be closed unless someone comes up with a simple fix in the near future. ---------- resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1533> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
