Thanks for this - I had forgotten the counter() 'trick'.


NB the presentation is almost ten-years old and uses Python 2.
(wonder if Ned has presented an updated version since?)

In Python 3:
- print-statement is now a function: print()
- the ordering of dicts is now predictable
- shorter names of functions to iterate over a dict's keys or values
and for extra-credit:
- yield from



Disclaimer: I use the edX platform and OpenEdX, and thus in that (and
other presentations) have long followed Ned's work.
