Simple python iteration question

[Bryan]

Hi,

I just started with python, and have a for loop question

In c++ (or a number of other languages) I can do this:

for (int i=0, j=0; i < i_len, j< j_len; ++i, ++j) {}

If I have this in python:
l = ['a', 'b', 'c']

I want to get the value and also an iterator:
for i,v in len(l), l:
	print v
	print i

Or something like this without declaring the iterator outside my loop...

How do I do this?
Thanks!
