Python: range function for decimal numbers

Question

Is there any range() function in python for float numbers for example

a=0.6

if a in range(0,1):
    a=3

How can i implement this?

Answer 1

If you're looking to check whether a is in between two numbers it's better to use:
0 <=a<=1
Otherwise , if you do need a list of say 0 to 1 in 0.1 jumps you can use this code to generate it:
lst = map(lambda x: x/10.0, range(11))
