I use it more often in other languages to replicate Python's enumerate, since zip(range(len(seq)),seq) is basically enumerate(seq) (although with this implementation it's not a generator).

Ah, but this is:

  from itertools import izip
  izip(xrange(len(seq)), seq)

And in Python 3 it's a generator with

    zip(range(len(seq)), seq)
