Right! I did not review this code enough. :-( Fixing now...

My fault again. I misremembered Guido wishing that range() returned ValueError on floats (which I thought was strange at the time). Going over a previous email, I see that he did say TypeError.

In the meantime, the test_builtins.py needs to be updated to check against TypeError rather than ValueError. (maybe it'll be done by now; ah, just checked, it has)
