generating a liste of characters

[Yves Dorfsman]

Is there any built in way to generate a list of characters, something
along the line of range('a'-'z') ?

Right now I am using:

  chars  = [ chr(l)  for l in range(0x30, 0x3a) ] # 0 - 9
  chars += [ chr(l)  for l in range(0x41, 0x5b) ] # A - Z
  chars += [ chr(l)  for l in range(0x61, 0x7b) ] # a - z

Is there a better, more straight forward way of doing that ?



Thanks.



Yves.
