Alphabet range with num and item from list

Question

I have a list:

lst = ['cat', 'cow', 'dog']

Need to print:

A1 cat
B2 cow
C3 dog

How I can do it?

Answer 1

Here is one way.

from string import ascii_uppercase
lst = ['cat', 'cow', 'dog']

for num, (letter, item) in enumerate(zip(ascii_uppercase, lst), 1):
    print('{0}{1} {2}'.format(letter, num, item))

# A1 cat
# B2 cow
# C3 dog   

Explanation

• Use enumerate for a numeric counter with optional start value of 1.
• Use string.ascii_uppercase to loop upper case alphabet.
• zip and loop through, using str.format to format your output.
