This has nothing to do with Python. My claim is that you, and others will say it is inconsistent and unintuitive, while myself and others will claim that their is nothing in needs to be consistent with, and it is in fact intuitive.

Consistency can be argued, but then what is it supposed to be consistent with? Walters goals? With other languages? With iota or uniform (random number generator)?

I can't tell you what the best choice is, but I can tell you I'm not writing: for(int i = 0; i <= arr.length-1; i++) just because it adds 3 extra characters. Just as I wouldn't write for(int i = 1; i < arr.length + 1; i++) for an 1 based array.
