I don't think you understood what Fredrik said. It was the Python way before enumerate() builtin was added and remains the Python way if you wish to write for older versions of Python and Jython. I don't do either but respect those who do, sometimes not exactly by choice. Ultimately, the 'pythonic' way is to do something that works rather than nothing at all.
