They say pretty clearly that range returns a list and xrange an xrange object. http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#range http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#xrange If you do not understand the entries, quote the part that confuses you and say what you are unclear about. > And which should be used where and in what situations.. ?? The entry for xrange (added after range) tries to explain this. It is for situations in which one does not want a list, but only the sequence of numbers, especially in situations where the length of the list would be large enough to make creating the unneeded list a nuisance. -- Terry Jan Reedy
