Probably not what you are asking... But maybe you want to look at repeat (and other stuff) in itertools >>> from itertools import repeat >>> zip(range(0,10), repeat("hi")) [(0, 'hi'), (1, 'hi'), (2, 'hi'), (3, 'hi'), (4, 'hi'), (5, 'hi'), (6, 'hi'), (7, 'hi'), (8, 'hi'), (9, 'hi')] IOW repeat give you "indefinite-data-repeat" just as "while True:..." gives "indefinite-code-repeat" -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
