Another solution is to use an identity test for the step argument _one = 1 class Random: def randrange(start, stop=None, step=_one): ... if stop is None and step is _one: if istart > 0: return self._randbelow(istart) This has the advantage of keeping the API unchanged while still keeping the fast path fast. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42772> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
