[Tutor] Iterate over multiple objects

[W W]

Hi,
I'm trying to compare two strings because I want to find the difference.

i.e.
string1 = "foobar"
string2 = "foobzr"

is there a simple way to do this with a for loop? This is the method I
tried, but it gives me an error:

In [14]: for x, y in bar[0], bar[1]:
   ....:     print x, y
   ....:
   ....:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)

D:\Documents and Settings\Wayne\<ipython console> in <module>()

ValueError: too many values to unpack

I suppose I could do:

for x in xrange(0, len(bar[0])):
    print bar[0][x], bar[1][x]    #yes I realize there's no comparison here,
I know how to do that - this is just a placeholder

Would that be the "best"/most pythonic solution?

Thanks,
Wayne
