module trace and counts

[rh]

Is it for or range that is executed 8000 times when I
for i in range(3,8000,2):

Maybe the for and the range contributes to that total.

Can anyone recommend their favorite trace or profile type tool that
spits out an html page? I like trace because I don't have to insert my
program into it but would like a html page too.

I'm sorry, I don't understand that question.

Is it for what? What "it" are you talking about?

If you run the code:

for i in range(3, 8000, 2):
pass

the `for` statement executes once, giving 3999 iterations in total.
`range` gets executed once. Nothing is executed 8000 times.

Maybe the for and the range contributes to that total.

What total?

I'm sure the context of your question is obvious to you, but we're not
mind-readers and have no idea what you have done and what total you have
got. Please explain your question.

I provided further info in another reply on this same thread.

But for sake of clarity and correctness here is what module trace
shows for a single pass:
4000: for i in range(3,8000,2):
3999: pass
