Why should it? But if you want it, you can do it:
xrange = range
There, that wasn't hard, was it?
I think I just learned more about Python than from months of reading this
group.
So 'range' is just a class like any other. And that a class is something
you
can blithely copy from one variable to another.
There is no copying of the class object. A new name is associated with
the object. Any object can be given any number of names (aliases) that
refer to the one and same object.
