To me, the first example is a pure use of the for loop. You are
iterating through an object and *using* the items you are stepping through.
The second example, however, is simply doing something 10 times, and
what it's doing has nothing to do with 'x' or xrange. So it seems like
an abuse of the for loop.
Well, I would say this:
myl = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
for i in xrange(len(myl)):
print myl[i]
As you would see in other languages, is an abuse in python. But in you need
to iterate 5 times over something. Do you have a cleaner / python'er
alternative ?
Do you find the following cleaner:
x = 0
while x <= 4:
print x
x += 1
