Punt it when it's no longer useful (py3k); xrange exists for a reason- most usage just needs to iterate over a range of numbers (xrange), not instantiate a list of the range, then iterate over said range (range). Don't much see the point in making stdlib more wasteful in runtime for an "informally deprecated" func that lots of folks in the real world still use. ~brian -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
