Defining features in a list

[M Whitman]

Good Morning,

I have been recently trying to define all of the features in a list but have 
been running into errors.  I would like to define the features similar to the 
following print statement.  Any advice would be appreciated.  I'm trying to 
transition my output from a text file to excel and if I can loop through my 
lists and define them that transition will be cleaner.

Many Thanks,

-Matt

Dave- By features I was refering to items in the list.  For background the 
arcpy module is used for geoprocessing of geographic information.  I'm using my 
script to get totals for features in a dataset that I receive on a regular 
basis- for example total number of hydrants, total number of hydrants with null 
or missing attributes, and total number of hydrants with outlining attributes.

I am experienced particularly with the arcpy module and I am trying deligently 
to become more experienced with Python in general.  My goal is to fetch values 
by name and then print output by name. print WS_Hyd and then see "484".   I 
have some experience with class definition but a dictionary might be the way to 
go.  I was understanding the response of the Arcpy module but hadn't understood 
why the list wasn't being defined in my previous loop statement.  I appreciate 
the response.  I will look into dict if you have a class definition suggestion 
I will run with that.  Thanks
