Python3 : Test ticket for range()

[wluebbe]

This ticket is used for doctesting the Python 3 compatibility of range(). It is not a real ticket and should not be merged.

Python 3 preparation: "xrange()" is gone and "range()" becomes an iterator

The tool 2to3 renames xrange() to range() and wraps existing range() usages with list().

But the code has to depend on the Python version!

There are 293 effected modules.

This ticket is tracked as a dependency of meta-ticket ticket:16052.

Depends on #16457

Component: python3

Issue created by migration from https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16081

Going ahead and closing (unless you disagree) since it's not a real change to commit. There aren't too many range-related issues remaining (and those that do remain are mostly in classes/functions that should accept range objects as arguments but currently don't).
