Assuming that I want to share and reuse this amongst the development team I
don't think I see that

    import tableutils
    for rowindex in tableutils.rowKeys(table):

or

    from tableutils import rowKeys
    for rowindex in rowKeys(table):

is *less* cumbersome than

    for rowindex in table.getRowCount():

But I can see why you might prefer using a helper function -- especially if
you don't want to type "getRowCount" a lot, if that's what you mean.

Thanks for your suggestion.
