title: Python For loop get index
body: <p>I am writing a simple Python for loop to prnt the current character in a string. However, I could not get the index of the character. Here is what I have, does anyone know a good way to get the current index of the character in the loop?</p>
  
  <pre><code> loopme = 'THIS IS A VERY LONG STRING WITH MANY MANY WORDS!'
  
   for w  in loopme:
      print "CURRENT WORD IS " + w + " AT CHARACTER " 
  </code></pre>
