I roughly want to be able to do: for f, x in bunch_of_files, range(z):
so that x iterates through my files, and y iterates through something else. Is this something I can do? If so, what would be the best way to create a range of indeterminate length? If not, is there a nice way I can do it, rather than than incrementing a variable (x = x + 1) every loop? Or maybe can I access the number of times the loop has run? ('x = x + 1' is so common there must be some more attractive shortcut). So far in learning Python I've founbd that when I feel you should be able to do something, then you can. This seems a pretty intuitive thing to want to do, so I'm sure it must be possible, but I can't find anything on it.
