Description:

def getBWTRange(self, start, end):
        '''
        This function masks the complexity of retrieving a chunk of the BWT from the compressed format
        @param start - the beginning of the range to retrieve
        @param end - the end of the range in normal python notation (bwt[end] is not part of the return)
        @return - a range of integers representing the characters in the bwt from start to end
        '''
        #set aside an array block to fill
        startBlockIndex = start >> self.bitPower
        endBlockIndex = int(math.floor(float(end)/self.binSize))
        trueStart = startBlockIndex*self.binSize
        
        #first we will extract the range of blocks
        return self.decompressBlocks(startBlockIndex, endBlockIndex)[start-trueStart:end-trueStart]
