In addition to Steven's criticisms of numpy.linspace(), I would like a
new function to work with types other than float. It certainly makes
sense to have range-like functionality for fractions and decimal
floats, but also I often find a need to generate a list of equally
spaces dates or datetime points. It would be nice if a new function
would allow start and stop to be any type that supports subtraction
and whose differences support division by numbers.
I think a polymorphic numeric range function would be useful. If it
happened to support dates, that would be great, but I think that a
daterange() function in the datetime module would be more appropriate.
Who is going to think to import math if you want a range of dates?
If it's generic, why should it live in math?
