I believe the following is a common use-case for enumerate() (at least, I've used it quite some times):

for lineno, line in enumerate(fileobject): ... For this, it would be nice to have a start parameter for enumerate(). The changes are minimal -- okay for 2.6?

I'd like to hear from Raymond before we do this. I'm pretty sure we had a reason for not doing it that way in when enumerate() was added, but I can't remember what that reason might have been...

Cheers, Nick.
