I asked that question here How to format all elements of a list in Python?.
In one of the answers, @Ciganomorrisonmendez, put the following excerpt:
list(range(1, 10))
But every time I used the Python, I used to
range(1, 10)
This is a conversion to list? But the range no longer returns a list?
I ran a test on the command line and the result that was returned was this:
type(range(1, 10))
<type 'list'>

Not.
range is a class which can be initialized with three arguments: start, end and increment. Therefore, it does not equal a list.
It can generate a list if converted to list because it has the ability to be iterated.
In Python 2, the behavior was different. range effectively generated a list. In Python 3, the object looks more like a generator.

Take a look at the update. The terminal is saying that it is a list!

It is written that range is currently a type of immutable sequence. This "currently" means "has been modified in recent versions"?

Yes, I’ll improve the answer.

Just to top it off - some tools that update code to work simultaneously with Python 2 and Python 3 change the occurrences of
rangein Python 2 tolist(range(...))- so that the behaviour is identical in both versions.– jsbueno
