Why is there no xrange function in Python3?

Question

Recently I started using Python3 and it\'s lack of xrange hurts.

Simple example:

1) Python2:

from time import time as t
def          


        

Answer 1

Python3's range is Python2's xrange. There's no need to wrap an iter around it. To get an actual list in Python3, you need to use list(range(...))

If you want something that works with Python2 and Python3, try this

try:
    xrange
except NameError:
    xrange = range
