Is there a compact equivalent to Python range() in C++/STL

Question

How can I do the equivalent of the following using C++/STL? I want to fill a std::vector with a range of values [min, max).

# Python
>>>

If you can't use C++11, you can use std::partial_sum to generate numbers from 1 to 10. And if you need numbers from 0 to 9, you can then subtract 1 using transform:

std::vector my_data( 10, 1 );
std::partial_sum( my_data.begin(), my_data.end(), my_data.begin() );
std::transform(my_data.begin(), my_data.end(), my_data.begin(), bind2nd(std::minus(), 1));
