This is a simple question, but I can't find anything in the

I would like to declare a simple arithmetic sequence in sage. I use
this a lot for discrete plots, etc. In octave, syntax such as
[0:0.1:1] returns the sequence

0.0   0.2  0.4  0.6   0.8   1.0

Is there such a shorthand syntax for these kinds of sequences in sage?
I know about the shorthand [1..10] for integers, but this does not
seem to work for general arithmetic sequences. The range() function
also will not work correctly with non integer steps.


Almost exactly like Octave:

sage: [0.0, 0.1, .., 1.0]
[0.000000000000000, 0.100000000000000, 0.200000000000000, 0.300000000000000, 0.400000000000000, 0.500000000000000, 0.600000000000000, 0.700000000000000, 0.800000000000000, 0.900000000000000, 1.00000000000000]

Thanks,

Jason
