Alexander: range does still accept such arguments (in 2.7); just not floats: >>> from decimal import Decimal >>> range(Decimal(20), Decimal(20)) [] >>> range(Decimal('1e100'), Decimal('1e100')) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: range() integer start argument expected, got Decimal.

Alexander: range *does* still accept such arguments (in 2.7);  just not floats:

>>> range(Decimal(20), Decimal(20))
[]
>>> range(Decimal('1e100'), Decimal('1e100'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: range() integer start argument expected, got Decimal.
