or is there an alternative use of range() or something similar that can
be as fast?

You could use xrange:

leif@ubuntu:~$ python -m timeit -n10000 "1 in range(10000)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 260 usec per loop
leif@ubuntu:~$ python -m timeit -n10000 "1 in xrange(10000)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 0.664 usec per loop
.
