did you mean that to be "print 'year' xy" I then get:

year  2004
year  [2004 2005 2006 2007]
year  2005
year  [2004 2005 2006 2007]
year  2006
year  [2004 2005 2006 2007]
year  2007
year  [2004 2005 2006 2007]

or di you really want something like:

In [35]: %paste
years = [2004,2005,2006,2007]

dates = [20040501,20050601,20060801,20071001]

for x, d in zip(years, dates):
     print 'year ', x
     print 'date', d
     print int (d*1.0e-4)
     print 'just date:', d - x*1e4

## -- End pasted text --
year  2004
date 20040501
2004
just date: 501.0
year  2005
date 20050601
2005
just date: 601.0
year  2006
date 20060801
2006
just date: 801.0
year  2007
date 20071001
2007
just date: 1001.0

but using floating point for this is risky anyway, why not:

In [47]: d
Out[47]: 20071001

In [48]: d // 10000
Out[48]: 2007

i.e integer division.
