Admiration wins out over revulsion. ;-)
Thanks,

PS Here's the motivation. Python closely resembles pseudocode. With
a very little LaTeX hacking, it is often possible to write algorithms is
Python that typeset as reasonable pseudocode. A simple repetitive
loop is a bit of a sticking point.

With slightly more LaTeX hacking or possibly Python hacking on your
script before passing it to LaTeX, you might just be able to change
occurences of

for x in range(a, b):

to

for x in [a, b):

or whatever, and get away with plain vanilla Python
in your code...
