unnecessary-range-start (PIE808)

Derived from the flake8-pie linter.

Fix is always available.

What it does

Checks for range calls with an unnecessary start argument.

Why is this bad?

range(0, x) is equivalent to range(x), as 0 is the default value for the start argument. Omitting the start argument makes the code more concise and idiomatic.

Example

range(0, 3)

Use instead:

range(3)
