Surely enumerate() wasn't added to Python with no intention of ever being used.
I see your reasons for preferring enumerate over zip, but I'm wondering if using enumerate this way isn't a little hackish or artificial. Isn't the point of enumerate to get the index of a specific item, as well as that item itself? It seems like arbitrarily altering the index (i+8) is an abuse of enumerate's true purpose.
Does this make any sense, or is it generally acceptable to use enumerate like this?
