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

What's wrong with using range? Here is how you can use it

>>> def steps(start,end,n):
    return [start]+range(start-1,end,end/(n-1))[1:]+[end]

>>> steps(1,100,5)
[1, 25, 50, 75, 100]
>>> steps(1,100,2)
[1, 100]
>>>
