Summary: "TypeError: iteration over non-sequence" for list of strings

Initial Comment:
The following code gives me the "TypeError: iteration 

over non-sequence" error.



I don't see why this shouldn't work.



Python 2.3 (#46, Jul 29 2003, 18:54:32) [MSC v.1200 

32 bit (Intel)] on win32

Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more 

information.



list = ["I am a boy", "You are a girl"]

for i in len(list):

	line = list[i]



	

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<pyshell#39>", line 1, in ?

    for i in len(list):

TypeError: iteration over non-sequence



***

If I take the steps manually it works....



>>> len(list)

2

>>> list[0]

'I am a boy'

>>> list[1]

'You are a girl'
