I cannot remember the last time I needed range(len(seq)) so I don't see 
how it can be "useful for day-by-day programming".  There is usually a 
more Pythonic way of doing things.  You need to get adjacent elements 
from a sequence?  Use the pairwise recipe from 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html.
