These kind of problems can easily be handled with numpy:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> print(np.union1d(np.arange(3,15,2), np.arange(8,12,2)))
[ 3 5 7 8 9 10 11 13]

There are a lot of complex cases you'd need to consider. What would the
value of range(3, 15, 2) + range(8, 12, 2) be? It's not a range in the
sense of being describable as (start, end, step). And simply saying
"that's not allowed" wouldn't really work, as it would be far too hard
to work with if operations could fail unexpectedly like this. In
reality, this feels more like you're after set algebra, which Python
already has.
Maybe it would make sense for the type of the result to devolve into a sorted
set (do we have a sorted set type now?) if it's not representable as a range.
