Python - iterate two lists and with increment variable

Question

I wanted to iterate through two lists at the same time while also being able to increment a variable: I am able to achieve this but incrementing row manually.

for name, time in zip(Linklist, Timelist):

    worksheet.write(row, col, name)
    worksheet.write(row, col + 1, time)
    row=row+1

Trying to see if something like this can be done:

for row, name, time in zip(Linklist, Timelist):

    worksheet.write(row, col, name)
    worksheet.write(row, col + 1, time)

Just use enumerate and nested unpacking:

for row, (name, time) in enumerate(zip(Linklist, Timelist)):

Use itertools.count:

for row, name, time in zip(itertools.count(), Linklist, Timelist):

enumerate(x) is the usual way to do zip(count(), x).

@zvone, well for only one collection maybe yes, for more maybe is your way. I usually tend to use a single unpack (not nested). Either way there is another answer with that.

I'm pretty sure yours work too but the first answer works better at this point. Thanks
