Thanks for your comments.

Q? Did you read version 1.2.2 or version 2.0 ?

Some typos propagate between versions (I fixed the "litteral"s), but I 
modified some parts (ex. for while loops the warning become "beware of 
infinite loops !" [I still have a space to remove before ! french/english 
typo differences]

Now (v2.0) range is presented as an integer sequence - without detail, 
dont know if beginners understand 'lasy' in our meaning.

Our students mainly work with text files, they have to convert all other 
values to str before writing. Its hard to be more complete within the 
remaining space. I'll see if I can add a small sentence about "text by 
default but can be binary with bytes content"

Thanks.
