def arange(start, stop=None, step=None):

    if stop is None:

        stop = float(start)

        start = 0.0

    if step is None:

        step = 1.0

    cur = float(start)

    while cur < stop:

        yield cur

        cur += step

For python 2.2 (e.g. pys60) you need to do a "from __future__ import generators" first.
To get the list from the generator, use list(arange(...))
