Generate alphabet?

[ssecorp]

In Haskell I can do [1..10] for range(1,11) and ['a'..'z'] for a list
of the alphabet.

Is there a way in Python to generate chars?

It's not actually about generating anything, but why should
one generate something if it's accessible anyway:

import string
print string.letters

How about:

def haskellrange(sc ,ec):
if type(sc) is int:
for ii in range(sc,ec):
yield ii
else:
for ii in range(ord(sc),o rd(ec)+1):
yield chr(ii)


for jj in haskellrange(1, 10): jj

for jj in haskellrange('a ','z'): jj


Add salt to taste...

Not as nice as in Haskell (or other languages), but:

[chr(i) for i in xrange(ord('a') , ord('z')+1)]

how about:

>>import string
>>','.join(stri ng.ascii_lowerc ase)

'a,b,c,d,e,f,g, h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o ,p,q,r,s,t,u,v, w,x,y,z'
