Usually you limit the iterable before passing it to enumerate():
for index, value in enumerate(some_seq[:max_count]):
...
When you have to deal with arbitrary iterables there's itertools.islice():
from itertools import islice
for index, value in enumerate(islice(some_iterable, max_count)):
...
Of course
for index, value in islice(enumerate(some_iterable), max_count):
...
is also possible.
