It's strange that you would prefer `for item in items` but not `for i, item in enumerate(items)`. So in that case you'd manually do the `for i in range(len(items))...`? I sometimes see this in code and think to myself, whoever wrote this needs to learn themselves some idiomatic python :) I don't think there's much point trying to force stuff that makes sense in one language into another language. Play to a languages strengths and all that. I think you're right about if-elif generally being more powerful than the jump table. Though the jump table is useful in that you can define it in one place and use it in another.
