The issues with that is you might have a complex structure below the for object
in list: with lots of continues or breaks and you don't want to have to remember
to change the index everytime. There is an old pep
(http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0212.html) that describes some proposed
solutions, but I was wondering if anything has happened since aug 2000. I might
just use the 

for objectIndex in range(len(list)):
    e = list[objectIndex]

solution, though its ugly too.
