Generating evenly distributed multiples/samples within a range

Question

Specific instance of Problem
I have an int range from 1-100. I want to generate n total numbers within this range that are as evenly distributed

Answer 1

You need proper rounding:

def steps(start,end,n):
    if n<2:
        raise Exception("behaviour not defined for n<2")
    step = (end-start)/float(n-1)
    return [int(round(start+x*step)) for x in range(n)]
