You can loop on the range and create the list by appending strings created
with the range using string substitution.  No library involved, just basic
python language features.  As to the validation problem, I don't think you
have defined it well enough to advise you on coding.

Why don't you specify exaction what is legal or not legal for your range,
write the code, show us what you  have, and someone can help you further.
My guess is the code can all be written in maybe 20 lines or so.
