<p>
    My programming language of preference is python for the simple reason that I feel I write better code faster with it then I do with other languages.  However also has a lot of nice tricks and idioms to do things well.  And partly as a reminder to myself to use them, and partly because I thought this might be of general interest I have put together this collection of some of my favourite idioms.  I am also putting this on <a href="https://gist.github.com/codefisher/9d7993ddbf404c505128">gist.github.com</a> so that anyone that wants to contribute there own things can, and I will try and keep this post up to date.

<h2>enumerate</h2>

<p>
    A fairly common thing to do is loop over a list while also keeping track of what index we are up to.  Now we could use a <code>count</code> variable, but python gives us a nicer syntax for this with the <code>enumerate()</code> function.
