Blockchain.map_blocks and Blockchain.range return different length objects

[carlocampajola]

Hi,

first, thanks for the great work. This is a minor issue which i have encountered.

I have noticed that calling map_blocks between given dates/block numbers returns objects which are one block short of what is returned when calling for instance the range method with the same options. In particular it appears the map_blocks method skips the last block in the range. While this is easily amendable by adding one block to the end argument of map_blocks, it seems likely to cause confusion (or I might be confused).

Reproduction Steps

import blocksci

chain = blocksci.Blockchain( 'btc_cfgfile.ini' )
start_date = '2011-04-11'
end_date = '2011-04-12'

def mapFunc(block):
    return block.height

rangeobj = chain.range(start_date, end_date).height
mapobj = chain.map_blocks(mapFunc, start_date, end_date)

print(len(rangeobj)) ## returns 163
print(len(mapobj)) ## returns 162

print(rangeobj[-1]) ## returns 117894
print(mapobj[-1]) ## returns 117893
