You can always use a counter if you don't like our fancy for-each loops;

The first one on the list of anti-patterns is doing exactly this.
Just don't. Ewww. Inefficient, ugly, and harder to read.
Part of learning to write in Python is, well, learning to write
*Python*, not {C,C++,Java,PHP}-in-Python.

Maybe my mind is rather more warped than I thought it was, but my first
impression was that foolist was a play on foolish.
I also like the anti-pattern on the link namely:-
for (index, value) in enumerate(alist):
print index, value
Fancy wasting time, money and effort typing those unnecessary round
brackets.
