Count indexes using “for” in Python

Question

I need to do in Python the same as:

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {cout << i;} 

but I don\'t know how to use FOR in Python to get the index

Answer 1

The most simple way I would be going for is;

i = -1
for step in my_list:
    i += 1
    print(i)

#OR - WE CAN CHANGE THE ORDER OF EXECUTION - SEEMS MORE REASONABLE

i = 0
for step in my_list:
    print(i) #DO SOMETHING THEN INCREASE "i"
    i += 1
