What does that loop do?  (Not the loop you posted, but the "real" loop
in your application.)  Perhaps python has another way to express what
you're doing.

For example, if you're iterating over the elements of an array, or
through the lines of a file, or the keys of a dictionary, the "in"
operator may work better:

    for thing in array_or_file_or_dictionary:
        do_something_with(thing)

HTH,
