writing my own extension

[spohle]

hi,

i use a lot the enumerate in my scripts and got really interested in
possibly writing my own enumerate as an extension, for which i would
want to extend it to be able to pass a start and step attribute.

can anyone point me on my way with good examples for that and how to
write extensions ?

thank you in advance

The range() builtin has this functionality. Also check out
http://docs.python.org/lib/itertools-functions.html

As for writing extensions, check out the following links:

Interesting notes on iterators with (or without) a "step()":
