The for loop with letters instead of numbers

Question

i know the for loop:

    for i range(2, 6):
        print i

gives this output:

    2
    3
    4
    5

can i also do this somehow with letters? for example:

    # an example for what i'm looking for
    for i in range(c, h):
        print i


    c
    d
    f
    g

Answer 1

I think it's nicer to add 1 to ord('g') than using ord('h')

for code in range(ord('c'), ord('g') + 1):
    print chr(code)

because what if you want to go to 'z', you need to know what follows 'z' . I bet you can type + 1 faster than you can look it up.

Answer 2

for i in 'cdefg':

...

for i in (chr(x) for x in range(ord('c'), ord('h'))):
