[issue6762] strange string representation of xrange in print

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

For types where it's possible, the str or repr returns a string that can
be passed to eval:

>>> for i in eval(str(xrange(5))):
...   print i
... 
0
1
2
3
4

xrange (and list, and tuple, and others) fall into this category.
