title: Python 3 turn range to a list
body: <p>I'm trying to make a list with numbers <code>1-1000</code> in it. Obviously this would be annoying to write/read, so I'm attempting to make a list with a range in it. In Python 2 it seems that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>some_list = range(1,1000)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>would have worked, but in Python 3 the range is similar to the <code>xrange</code> of Python 2?</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone provide some insight into this?</p>
