Is enumerate in python lazy?

It’s lazy. It’s fairly easy to prove that’s the case:

>>> def abc():
...     letters = ['a','b','c']
...     for letter in letters:
...         print letter
...         yield letter
...
>>> numbered = enumerate(abc())
>>> for i, word in numbered:
...     print i, word
...
a
0 a
b
1 b
c
2 c
