Arithmetic sequences in Python

Please visit http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0204.html first. As you can see, PEP 204 was rejected, mostly because of not-so-obvious syntax. But IMO the idea behind this pep is very nice. So, maybe there's a reason to adopt slightly modified Haskell's syntax? Something like [1,3..10] --> [1,3,5,

ConfigObj will read and write list values. You get all sorts of other advantages as well (nested subsections to any depth), and the resulting code will be much simpler. from configobj import ConfigObj cfgfile = "cfgtest.ini" cfg = ConfigObj(cfgfile) t1 = range(1,11) # no *need* to create a subse
