Skip iterations in enumerated list object (python)

Question

I have the code

for iline, line in enumerate(lines):
    ...
    if :
        

I would like, as you c

Answer 1

The standard idiom for doing this is to make an iterator and then use one of the consumer patterns (see here in the itertools docs.)

For example:

from itertools import islice

lines = list("abcdefghij")

lit = iter(enumerate(lines))
for iline, line in lit:
    print(iline, line)
    if line == "c":
        # skip 3
        next(islice(lit, 3,3), None)

produces

0 a
1 b
2 c
6 g
7 h
8 i
9 j
