There's always the itertools solution: import itertools def rangeInThirds(start,end): for whole, frac in itertools.product(range(start,end), (0, 0.3, 0.6)): yield whole + frac The simplist way is to use a list comprehension: [whole + frac for whole in xrange(start, end) for frac in [0, 0.3, 0.6]] Then you just need to turn the iterable (generator in the first case, list in the second into your "array".
