I've been reading this Python 3.0.1
tutorial(http://docs.python.org/3.0/tutorial/controlflow.html),
Looks like a bug in the tutorial! In Python 3 you cannot just print a range
it is now a generator. Notice that in the tutorial the range() calls are
not
shown at the >>> prompt.
They are not valid commands, the tutorial is just illustrating the expected
output from range for those values!
To see them you need to explicitly convert it to a list:
list( range(0, 10, 3) )
[0, 3, 6, 9]
list( range(-10, -100, -30) )
[-10, -40, -70]
