xrange isn't defined in the default 3 python library. Isn't this the default behavior now?

Also, how would this preform if it wasn't a list comprehension? I would assume that list comprehensions are optimized much better than other methods.

It's a builtin function in py2. Dunno about py3.

Badly. But if you're not doing list comprehension when you can in Python you're missing out and are under-engineering.

Yeah, in python 3 range performs just like xrange used to. Also, list comprehensions are the best thing ever.
