Joy:

Try entering "python range float" at your personal favorite search
engine.  I tried it on Google.  Here is the first entry returned:

	ASPN : Python Cookbook : frange(), a range function with float
...
	Sadly missing in the Python standard library, this function
allows 
	to use ranges, just as the built-in function range(), but with 
	float arguments. ...

There were lots of others.
