Python range to list

Question

I am trying to convert a range to list.

nums = []
for x in range (9000, 9004):
    nums.append(x)
    print nums

output

[90         


        

Answer 1

Python 3

For efficiency reasons, Python no longer creates a list when you use range. The new range is like xrange from Python 2.7. It creates an iterable range object that you can loop over or access using [index].

If we combine this with the positional-expansion operator *, we can easily generate lists despite the new implementation.

[*range(9000,9004)]

Python 2

In Python 2, range does create a list... so:

range(9000,9004)
