Out of curiosity, I just grepped about 300k lines of source:

234 - enumerate() in for loops
140 - zip() in for loops
12 - range(len()) in for loops

About half of those 12 range uses are interfacing to extension modules that
only provide an indexing interface to array-like data, so really no way
around it...  The remainder are in unit tests where we are just sloppily
generating N-long test data values, where it could be better formulated,
but no one cares enough to change it.
