Or even more appropriately in the calendar module. The problem is that we may already have a similar function there and nobody knows about it. > Who is going to > think to import math if you want a range of dates? No one. That's why I said that if the new function ends up in math or stats, I am +1 on frange(). However, I did in the past try to give dates for start and stop and a timedelta for step expecting range() to work. This would be similar to the way sum works for non-numeric types when an appropriate start value is given. BTW, at the time when I worked on extending (x)range to long integers, I attempted to make it work on dates, but at that time timedelta did not support division by integer, so I refocused on that instead. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
