python - Range with step of type float -

this question has answer here:

the documentation says range must behave implementation (for positive step):

def range(start, stop, step):   x = start   while true:     if x >= stop: return     yield x     x += step

it says arguments must integers. why that? isn't definition valid if step float?

in case, esp. needing range function accepts float type step argument. there in python or need implement own?

more specific: how translate c code directly python in nice way (i.e. not doing via while-loop manually):

for(float x = 0; x < 10; x += 0.5f) { /* ... */ }

edit: docs prefer numpy.linspace. _{thanks @droogans noticing =)}
