Question

I have a list of values in a for loop. e.g. myList = [1,5,7,3] which I am using to create a bar chart (using google charts)

I want to label each value with a letter of the alphabet (A-Z) e.g. A = 1, B = 5, C = 7, D = 3

What is the best way to do this running through a for loop

e.g.

for x in myList:
    x.label = LETTER OF THE ALPHABET

The list can be any length in size so wont always be just A to D

EDIT

myList is a list of objects not numbers as I have put in example above. Each object will have a title attached to it (could be numbers, text letters etc.), however these titles are quite long so mess things up when displaying them on Google charts. Therefore on the chart I was going to label the chart with letters going A, B, C, ….to the lenth of the myList, then having a key on the chart cross referencing the letters on the chart with the actual titles. The length of myList is more than likely going to be less than 10 so there would be no worries about running of of letters.

Hope this clears things up a little

Answer 1

import string
for i, x in enumerate(myList):
    x.label = string.uppercase[i]

This will of course fail if len(myList) > 26
