I need to loop through a queryset and put the objects into a dictionary along with the sequence number, i, in which they appear in the queryset. However a Python for loop doesn’t seem to provide a sequence number. Therefore I’ve had to create my own variable i and increment it with each loop. I’ve done something similar to this, is this the cleanest solution?
ledgers = Ledger.objects.all()
i = 0
for ledger in ledgers:
print('Ledger no '+str(i)+' is '+ledger.name)
i += 1

enumerate(…) [Python-doc] is designed for that:
ledgers = Ledger.objects.all()
for i, ledger in enumerate(ledgers):
print(f'Ledger no {i} is {ledger.name}')
