iteration

Hi,

I have a question about the loop construct in Python in the form of: for x in y: In my case y is a line read from a file and x is separate characters. I would like to put a space after every pair of characters in the output, like this: aa bb cc dd etc. So, I would like to know the current iteration. Is it possible, or do I need to use a more traditional C style for loop with an index?

I am about to make two assumptions. Please correct me if they're wrong: There isn't a recursive algorithm without an iterative equivalent.
