It's perfectly graceful, and more important, readable, although
there are two things you should do differently.

1. Make sure you really want it to repeat only 9 times... 
   otherwise use range(10) or, the same thing, range(0, 10)

2. Use xrange() instead of range(), in case you decide you
   want to iterate 1000000 times instead of ten times...
