That's correct, as per the error message:
range()doesn't return a list in Python 3, it returns a generator.dniku commentedon Oct 4, 2019
Technically, this is not exactly the case:
range()is a special object, not a generator. In particular, it has__len__()and random access:Hence, it walks like a list and quacks like a list, so it should be relatively straightforward to add support for it.

Hi - we are currently trying to tidy up Plotly's public repositories to help us focus our efforts on things that will help users most. Since this issue has been sitting for several years, I'm going to close it. If it's still a concern, we'd be grateful if you could open a new issue (with a short reproducible example if appropriate) so that we can add it to our backlog. Thanks for your help - @gvwilson
Treat range() as a simple array
[-]go.Scatter does not support range() as x kwarg[/-][+]support range() as keyword argument for go.Scatter[/+]
