Sorry about that.
I have posted the code below:
#!/usr/bin/env python
'''A program to generate prime numbers when given 2 numbers'''
def isPrime(number):
number=abs(int(number))
#1 is not considered a prime number
if number<2:
return False
#2 is the only even prime number
if number==2:
return True
#no even prime numbers after 2
if not number&1:
return False
#to find all prime numbers we need to go up to the
#square root of the highest odd number
for x in range(3,int(number**0.5)+1,2):
if number%x==0:
return False
return True
if __name__=='__main__':
startNum=int(raw_input())
endNum=int(raw_input())
for num in range(startNum,endNum):
check=isPrime(num)
if check==True:
print num,
