Python enumerate(): Simplify Looping With Counters
Once you learn about for loops in Python, you know that using an index to access items in a sequence isn’t very Pythonic. So what do you do when you need that index value? In this tutorial, you’ll learn all about Python’s built-in enumerate(), where it’s used, and how you can emulate its behavior.

How to Use Serializers in the Django Python Web Framework
Serialization transforms data into a format that can be stored or transmitted and then reconstructs it for use. There are some quick-and-dirty ways to serialize data in pure Python, but you often need to perform more complex actions during the serialization process, like validating data. The Django REST Framework has some particularly robust and full-featured serializers.
