in fact, as written, it's incorrect:

from itertools import range

that will cause an import error.

"Modern" Python lore tends to favor comprehensions and deemphasize 
lambdas, so yes, this is a bit strange.

I also am not a favorite of using the term "type cast" for Python. 
Maybe it's just me, but you're not reinterpreting the type of an object, 
you're creating a new one from the value of the original one.  However, 
I've been known to get hung up on language usage, it does seem to be a 
widely used term.
