As an aside, why use range rather than xrange? I was under the impression
that xrange is a generator and therefore more memory efficient.

xrange was a kludge to improve on range's memory efficiency
but it is a horrible name that obscures the code.

Also it does not exist in v3 so if you use it you will need to change
the code for v3. It is as well to be as consistent with v3 as possible
