Alternative to 'for i in xrange(len(x))'

Question

So I see in another post the following "bad" snippet, but the only alternatives I have seen involve patching Python.

for i in xrange(len(something)):
  workwith = something[i]
  # do things with workwith...

What do I do to avoid this "antipattern"?

Answer 1

See Pythonic

for workwith in something:
    # do things with workwith

Answer 2

for example:

[workwith(i) for i in something]

Answer 3

What is x? If its a sequence or iterator or string then

for i in x: workwith = i

will work fine.

Answer 4

If you need to know the index in the loop body:

for index, workwith in enumerate(something):
    print "element", index, "is", workwith

Answer 5

As there are two answers to question that are perfectly valid (with an assumption each) and author of the question didn't inform us about the destiny of index, the valid answer should read:

If you do not need index at all:

for workwith in something:
    print "element", workwith

If you need index:

for index, workwith in enumerate(something):
    print "element", index, "is", workwith

If my answer is not appropriate, comment please, and I'll delete it :)
