Call me a Luddite if you will, but I'd suggest that instead of
for item, n in zip(items, count(N)):
dostuff(item, n)
you try
(1)
for n, item in enumerate(items):
dostuff(item, n+N)
or (2)
n = N-1
for item in items:
n += 1
dostuff(item, n)

As enumerate takes only 1 argument, I presume that is the messed-up version.
Yes, the correct version is a pain:
for n, (component, rotations) in enumerate(zip(yadda1, yadda2)):
Perhaps you could use something like this:
>>> def zipwithcount(N, *args):
... for x, guff in enumerate(zip(*args)):
... yield guff + (x + N,)
...
>>> list(zipwithcount(666, 'abc', 'xyz'))
[('a', 'x', 666), ('b', 'y', 667), ('c', 'z', 668)]
>>>

John
