There's your answer then. :)

When the choice lies between smart data structures, or poor data
structures that force you to think of ways to code around them, go with
the smart data structures.

e.g.

l = [(1,'s'), (2,'t'), (3,'d')]

for x, y in l:
    print x, y

Can't get any simpler than that.

HTH,
