The name "frange" does not necessarily imply that we have to mimic the API completely. As long as frange(10.0) and frange(1.0, 10.0) works as expected while addressing floating point subtleties through optional arguments and documentation, I don't see why it can't be called frange() *and* support count. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
