This is useful being able to quickly enumerate letters, or digits.
Just yesterday, I wrote:

            contexte = {}
            for nom, valeur in map(None,
                                   string.uppercase[:len(valeur)],
                                   valeur):
                assert valeur in '01', valeur
                contexte[nom] = valeur != '0'
