Yep. Just found it out, though this seems a bit counterintuitive to
me, even if it makes for more elegant code: I forgot about the high
stop bound.

I do understand the consequences of making high bound exclusive, which
is more elegant code: xrange(len(c)). But it does seem a bit
illogical...

Yes, that does the job. Thanks.
