How to enumerate a range of numbers starting at 1

Question

I am using Python 2.5, I want an enumeration like so (starting at 1 instead of 0):

[(1, 2000), (2, 2001), (3, 2002), (4, 2003), (5, 2004)]

Answer 1

>>> h = enumerate(range(2000, 2005))
>>> [(tup[0]+1, tup[1]) for tup in h]
[(1, 2000), (2, 2001), (3, 2002), (4, 2003), (5, 2004)]

Since this is somewhat verbose, I'd recommend writing your own function to generalize it:

def enumerate_at(xs, start):
    return ((tup[0]+start, tup[1]) for tup in enumerate(xs))
