Prime factorization - list

Question

I am trying to implement a function primeFac() that takes as input a positive integer n and returns a list containing all the numbers in the prime

Answer 1

def get_prime_factors(number):
    """
    Return prime factor list for a given number
        number - an integer number
        Example: get_prime_factors(8) --> [2, 2, 2].
    """
    if number == 1:
        return []

    # We have to begin with 2 instead of 1 or 0
    # to avoid the calls infinite or the division by 0
    for i in xrange(2, number):
        # Get remainder and quotient
        rd, qt = divmod(number, i)
        if not qt: # if equal to zero
            return [i] + get_prime_factors(rd)

    return [number]
