Step-sized linearly spaced vector in Matlab

Having a background in Python I am familiar with the numpy library. In numpy there is a function called arange(start,end,step-size). It is a very useful function. Unlike linspace(start,end,total points), you can (without pre-calculating amount of total points) specify how small step you want.

I have tried to look for a similar function in Matlab (R2015a), but can only see two relevant choices : linspace and colon. Is there such a function in Matlab ?

The colon function you mentioned in your question, using three arguments start:step-size:end , seems to have the same ouput as arange(start,end,step-size). 

In[1] numpy.arange(0,0.5,0.1)
Out[1] array([0., 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4])

And in Matlab

E = 0:0.1:0.4
E = 0   0.1000   0.2000   0.3000   0.4000

Edit :

As mentionned by Beaker, the end is inclusive in Matlab, but exclusive in Python.
