You can also put multiple names in the for expression itself.  What you
are actually doing if you do this is creating a tuple, but the effect is
to provide multiple loop variables.  Rewriting Wundram's example in this
style:

    for x, s in [(n, 2**n) for n in range(0,42)]:
        <do something with x and s>
        if <more blah>:
            continue
        <even more blah>

Also, if the multiple loop terms are more independent than the example,
look at the zip() builtin function (it creates a sequence of tuples out
of two or more sequences).

Yours, Lulu...
