-The \keyword{for} statement in Python differs a bit from what you may be
-used to in \C{} or Pascal.  Rather than always iterating over an
-arithmetic progression of numbers (like in Pascal), or leaving the user

-\keyword{for} statement iterates over the items of any sequence (e.g., a
-list or a string), in the order that they appear in the sequence.  For
