Is there a need for range(len(a))?

Question

One frequently finds expressions of this type in python questions on SO. Either for just accessing all items of the iterable

for i in range(len(a)):
    prin         


        

Answer 1

I have an use case I don't believe any of your examples cover.

boxes = [b1, b2, b3]
items = [i1, i2, i3, i4, i5]
for j in range(len(boxes)):
    boxes[j].putitemin(items[j])

I'm relatively new to python though so happy to learn a more elegant approach.
