I believe around Python 2.2... I used to want that syntax when I started, now I stick to for x in y.keys() - The 'explicit > implicit' concept has become important to me; probably because I do most of my coding after midnight and the "should really be in bed" mistakes are bad enough, but adding implicitness in any form tends to increase my time to debug. I'm learning C at the moment, which has a degree of implicitness that could bite me; ditto C#.
