Better way to iterate over indices?

Definitely not beautiful.  ;)

If you actually need the index, then this is the way to do it.  Note 
that in most cases, you don't need the index and can iterate directly:

for v in myList:
     doStuff(v)

 From your sample code (assuming you don't need i) this does the same thing.
