Raymond Hettinger <python@rcn.com>: > enumerate -- I like this one best because it does what it says. But it doesn't. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, enumerate means either "to ascertain the number of : COUNT" or "to specify one after another : LIST". The first is what len() does, and the second doesn't require doing anything. Neither of these is what we want. I notice that "numerate" is listed in the thesaurus as a synonym for "enumerate". Maybe it could serve as a compromise between "enumerate" and "number"?
