Get loop count inside a for-loop

This for loop iterates over all elements in a list: for item in my_list: print item Is there a way to know within the loop how many times I've been looping so far? For instance, I want to take a list and after I've processed ten elements I want to do something with them. The alternatives I thought about would be something like: count=0 for item in my_list: print item count +=1 if count % 10 == 0: print 'did ten' Or: for count in range(0,len(my_list)): print my_list[count] if count % 10 == 0: print 'did ten' Is there a better way (just like the for item in my_list) to get the number of iterations so far?
The pythonic way is to use enumerate: for idx, item in enumerate(my_list):
