'z']?   The range() just can generate the numeric list.

import string
list(string.lowercase)

Be careful here. If you change locale that will return all lowercase
letters not just 'a' to 'z'. For example:

import locale, string
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

'English_United Kingdom.1252'

print string.lowercase

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzƒšœžªµºßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿ

Thanks, Duncan -- that would have eventually bitten me.
