FWIW, an approach using itertools is pretty general but even it doesn't work
for dates :-)
>>> from itertools import count, takewhile
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> from fractions import Fraction
>>> list(takewhile(lambda x: x<=10.0, count(0.0, 0.5)))
[0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0,
7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0]
>>> list(takewhile(lambda x: x<=Decimal(1), count(Decimal(0), Decimal('0.1'))))
[Decimal('0'), Decimal('0.1'), Decimal('0.2'), Decimal('0.3'), Decimal('0.4'),
Decimal('0.5'), Decimal('0.6'), Decimal('0.7'), Decimal('0.8'), Decimal('0.9'),
Decimal('1.0')]
>>> list(takewhile(lambda x: x<=Fraction(2), count(Fraction(0), Fraction(1,3))))
[Fraction(0, 1), Fraction(1, 3), Fraction(2, 3), Fraction(1, 1), Fraction(4,
3), Fraction(5, 3), Fraction(2, 1)]
>>> from datetime import date, timedelta
>>> list(takewhile(lambda x: x<=date(2011,12,31), count(date(2011,9,27),
>>> timedelta(days=7))))
