Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
I'm happy to improve the docs and docstring a bit to match the description for range(). I don't want to change any of the keyword arguments because it can break code that currently works and has been working for ages. It's a fact of life that the range() signature is complicated to express in pure Python. I don't feel any need to reformulate the existing code -- it has been working fine for people for a *very* long time. Conceptually, it's misleading but in practice people seem to just get it. ---------- assignee: -> rhettinger priority: normal -> low _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9379> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
