Is there an easy, clever, Pythonic way (other than setting up a
counter) to replace ??? with the current index of item in a_list?
try:
help( enumerate() )
It returns the index and item and you can specify the
starting index if you don't like zero.
Thanks, Alan! In this instance I am happy with zero, but the link Zach
provided says that changing the starting index wasn't implemented
until Python 2.6.
We're now at 3.4 with 3.5 close to its first alpha release, so any
particular reason that even 2.6 doesn't seem relevant to you? No axe to
grind, just plain old fashioned curiosity :)
