[FIXED] Python TypeError: range() integer end argument expected, got float

Issue

I am trying run that little piece of code:

mybox = (17.0, -13.0, 489.0644700903291, 566.0)
# this 'box' is my input so these values will vary

xMin, yMin, xMax, yMax = mybox

yValue = range(yMin, yMax, 30)

running it, I get an error:

TypeError: range() integer end argument expected, got float.

Is there a way to use a float in a range like that?

Thanks,

Solution

You're looking for arange, which can be found in numpy (or pylab).

import numpy
...
yValue = numpy.arange(yMin, yMax, 30.0)
