In Python 3, range is a sequence class with a separate iterator class

 >>> r = range(3)
 >>> r
range(0, 3)
 >>> iter(r)
<range_iterator object at 0x00000000034682D0>

Like all sequences, a range object can be iterated multiple times as a 
new iterator is used each time.

 >>> list(r)
[0, 1, 2]
 >>> list(r)
[0, 1, 2]
