Yes and also remember that when doing the range remember that having sequential numbers or letters they do not always follow logic such as different character code lists do not. So when using range use the in to look at the list and not a sequence of numbers. Unless you want a sequence to look at. The best example is the EBCDIC code list. There a, b, c does not mean 1, 2, 3...in terms being in a direct sequence

Actually to correct myself range returns a list, xrange returns an 
iterator.
