Here's a modification to your earlier code using zip:
PopularCountries = ["Brazil", "China", "France", "India", "Vietnam"]
Backpackers = 1000000
msg = "In %d there were %d backpackers worldwide and their most popular
country was %s."
for year, country in zip(range(2009, 2014), PopularCountries):
Backpackers = Backpackers*1.15
print(msg % (year, Backpackers, country))
So much for "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way
to do it." :)
Huh? Using zip to iterate over multiple sequences in parallel *is* the
obvious way to, um, iterate over multiple sequences in parallel.
Correct, except that there never was a requirement to iterate over
multiple sequences in parallel. The OP originally asked for "... how I
can loop through a variable and a list at the same time." I immediately
thought enumerate, both yourself and Dave Angel thought zip. We get the
same output with different ways of doing it, hence my comment above.
