You know, sometimes it annoys me to write a for loop in Python. If we use a list a=[1,2,3,4], and want to loop through it, Python offers the next option >>>for i in a: >>> print i >>> 1 2 3 4
I love this. So simple and smooth. But what happens if we need also the position of an object in a list. Then there comes this annoying writing. >>> for i in range(len(a)): >>> print a[i], i >>> 1 0 2 1 3 2 4 3 I think that it would be great if the Python language, which is a totaly OOP language, could also use the index variable from the first example and consider it as an object with a Object variable. I mean the following. >>>for i in a: >>> print i, i.index # i.index is my sugesstion >>> 1 0 2 1 3 2 4 3 I think that this would be great and we cou pass by this annoying "range(len(a))" functions -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
