[Zope] dtml question: xrange?

[Paul Everitt]

I see that Alexander answered the question, so I'll provide the answer

Zope tries to prevent people from resource attacks via TTW editing.  One
way that Jim Fulton worked pretty hard on was preventing people from
creating huge sequences, such as with the range function(s).
