(Granted, that still wouldn't make it an included battery.) Hmm… wonder if I can fit a SELECT into cmd2 in time for PyCon. (Granted, that still wouldn’t make it an included battery.)

>>> d = (“foo”, “bar”, “baz”)
>>> d
(‘foo’, ‘bar’, ‘baz’)
>>> for i, v in enumerate(d):
… print i + 1, v
…
1 foo
2 bar
3 baz
>>> d[2 - 1] # -1 because enumerate is 0-indexed and we printed 1-indexed
bar
