However, neither would "for rowindex in mytable" work.  In either case, you'd
need to use something similar to mytable.GetRowCount().

>>> for rowindex in mytable.GetRowCount():

or

>>> for rowindex in xrange(mytable.GetRowCount()):

(In this case, since we don't need to grab the collection of rows, we'd use
xrange() instead of indices(), but the effect is the same.  All that PEP 276
seems to be gaining us, to my mind, is a not needing to type a single function
name.)
