I'm glad I came across this post because I was about to write it myself. indices () seems like a good explanation of what's going on. It returns both the index and what it corresponds to. Much better than enumerate.

How about "indices"? You use a key to get things out of dictionaries. You use an index to get things out of sequences. "indices" is the pural of index. Neil
