From what I understand, range() no longer allows you to use floats as
arguments. (Or it gives you a deprication warning) This tutorial must be old.
Not the only way, but.
import math num = 0 while num <= 2*math.pi: ## Do stuff to figure pi/6 things
num = num + math.pi/6.0 ## Don't forget .0 or you'll get an integer result.
print ## Result thingy
Another way is to use Numarry (Numeric) arange() but that takes extra work. ;-)

This is from a tutorial
"EXERCISE 3.9 Use the math library to write a program to print out the sin and cos of numbers from 0 to 2pi in intervals of pi/6. You will need to use the range() function."
Range won't let me use pi/6 as an incremator is there some other way i can accomplish this task im new to programming so all the help i can get is greatly appreciated. NI! alex
