Is there a simple function to generate a list like ['a', 'b', 'c', ... 'z']?

Is there a simple function to generate a list like ['a', 'b', 'c', ...
'z']? The range() just can generate the numeric list.

There is:
[ chr(i) for i in range(97, 123) ]

Not very simple, but how about a list comprehension:

import string

lst = [char for char in string.letters[:26] ]
print lst

Thanks you too! I'm a beginner of python.

import string

Be careful here. If you change locale that will return all lowercase
letters not just 'a' to 'z'. For example:

>>import locale, string
locale.setloc ale(locale.LC_A LL, '')

'English_United Kingdom.1252'

>>print string.lowercas e

abcdefghijklmno pqrstuvwxyzƒšœž ªµºßàáâãäåæçèéê ëìíîïðñòóôõöøùú ûüýþÿ

Not very simple, but how about a list comprehension:

import string

lst = [char for char in string.letters[:26] ]
print lst

Anytime you write a list comp like [x for x in thing] that should be a
warning that you shouldn't be writing a list comp.

lst = list(string.let ters[:26])

Thomas[ chr(i) for i in range(97, 123) ]

Or with fewer magic numbers:

[chr(i) for i in range(ord('a'), ord('z')+1)]
