Those do something different -- they give a range of values. In
contrast, enumerate takes an iterable x, and returns an iterator over
tuples (i,x[i]) with i a Python int. I think the OP is asking
whether there is something like "senumerate(x)" that would return an
iterator over pairs (i,x[i]), with i Sage integers. I think there is
no such single function. Since it is easy to write such a thing in
2-3 lines of code (see below -- or just throw in a coercion), the only
reason they could be asking is they want maximal speed...? But that
isn't explained in the question. Hmmm. Not sure what to do.
# Here is the 2-liner:
def senumerate(x):
for i, a in enumerate(x): yield Integer(i),a
sage: v = list(senumerate(['a','b','c'])); v
[(0, 'a'), (1, 'b'), (2, 'c')]
sage: type(v[0][0])
<type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'>
sage: list(enumerate(['a','b','c']))
[(0, 'a'), (1, 'b'), (2, 'c')]
