Confirmed. The snippet works for 3.1 and 2.7a2. from itertools import count, islice irange = lambda start, stop, step: islice(count(start, step), (stop-start+step-1)//step) The documentation needs update for 2.6 only. This kind of snippet seems backward compatible for 2.6: irange = lambda start, stop, step: islice(count(start), 0, stop, step)
