domain = xrange(100) # this is all of the numbers
exceptions = [04,34,40,44,48,54,57,67,76,83,99] #this is the stuff you don't
want

new_set = set(domain) - set(exceptions) # removes all of the stuff in
exceptions from the domain
 new_list = sorted(list(new_set)) : turns the set into a list and then sorts
it. Calling sorted ensures that the list is in ascending order
for i in new_list : #new_list just contains the stuff you need.
