In addition to Steven's criticisms of numpy.linspace(), I would like a new function to work with types other than float. It certainly makes sense to have range-like functionality for fractions and decimal floats, but also I often find a need to generate a list of equally spaces dates or datetime points. It would be nice if a new function would allow start and stop to be any type that supports subtraction and whose differences support division by numbers.
I think a polymorphic numeric range function would be useful. If it happened to support dates, that would be great, but I think that a daterange() function in the datetime module would be more appropriate. Who is going to think to import math if you want a range of dates?
