You can also use the NumPy library (which isn't part of standard library but is relatively easy to obtain) which has the arange function:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.arange(0,1,0.1)
array([ 0. , 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9])as well as the linspace function which lets you have control over what happens at the endpoint (non-trivial for floating point numbers when things won't always divide into the correct number of "slices"):
>>> np.linspace(0,1,11)
array([ 0. , 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1. ])>>> np.linspace(0,1,10,endpoint=False)
array([ 0. , 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9])
