Range here means that a range or a list. Of What? A list between two numbers, characters, etc. Python interprets numbers, characters as a kind of PyObject. Yes it makes sense to have ranges of int and str but not for others. It doesn't make sense to have ranges for some and not for others. And as you demonstrated there's a current approach to use <= x <= to have ranges only for the required types. The current approach is very good. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/OORUNLGTGLLNEN7U4BZHE7ZVEUTLMYPS/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
