lists....order...

[gabor]

hi,

1.
a = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
for item in a:
	print a

will print 1 2 3 4 5 6?
in other words, is it guarantied that for a list the elements will be
enumerated in their order? 

2. many times i use this construct:
a = ["a","b","c","d"]
for letter in a:
	dosomething..
	but now i really need the position of the letter in that list
	so i need an x, for which a[x] = letter...

the only solution i could find:
for index in range(len(a)):
	letter = a[index]

is there a way to do that with the normal 'for letter in a' approach?

thanks,
gabor
