Jose,
the answer to your problem is very simple.
run this:
<code>
#! /bin/python
def frange(xo, xn, incrmt):
b = []
sum = xo
while(sum < xn):
sum = sum + incrmt
b.append(sum)
return b
a = frange(0, 13.45, 1.5)
print a
</code>
Reason this wasn't working is that in python, you have to define your
functions *before* you call them.
Cheers,
-Paul
