iteritems() and enumerate()

[Xah Lee]

Python has iteritems() and enumerate() to be used in for loops.

can anyone tell me what these are by themselves, if anything?

are they just for idiom?
thanks.

You would be funnier if you weren't so incompetent.

iteritems() is a dictionary method, which returns a lazily constructed
sequence of all (key, value) pairs in the dictionary.

enumerate(seq) is a function that returns a lazily constructed list of
(index, value) pairs for all values in a sequence.

check the relevant sections of the library reference for details.

No, anyone can use them, not just idioms like you.

No, even if he was more competent, he'd still be a vicious, pointless
asshole:

"By the way, the pussy sex accuse us and hate us virile sex for
undiscrimination and hunger for humping. But look at their ugliness,
hogging with their arms and legs the moment a powerful dick or asshole
walks by. If we males are assholes, they made us so. If male animals
rape female animals, the females has a lot to do with it. Fuck them,
and fuck them for their brainlessness."

With an observational ability like that, who would *ever* listen to a
word he'd say?
