> IIRC, it was a very deliberate choice not to allow float arguments to range
Ignore this bit. IDRC. It was a deliberate choice not to let something range(0.0, 1.0, 0.1) work to give [0.0, 0.1, ...], since the usual floating-point difficulties give uncertainty about the endpoint.
That float arguments were allowed (and silently truncated to integers) is merely unfortunate. :) And it's no longer permitted in 2.7; I wouldn't want to go back to permitting float arguments here.
I'll set this to pending; it should be closed unless someone comes up with a simple fix in the near future. |
