How to iterate over two variables at same time?

Question

My code looks as follows:

startDates = ['2011-01-01','2012-01-01']
endDates = ['2013-01-01','2014-01-01']
theJuice = []

for startDate in startDates and endDate in endDates:
    start_date = startDate 
    end_date = endDate
    print start_date
    print end_date

I hope you can help me.

Do you want every combination of startDate and endDate? That is, do you want 2 iterations or 4? — Eric Duminil, Sep 30 '17 at 20:18

You can use zip(*iterables):

for startDate, endDate in zip(startDates, endDates):
    print startDate
    print endDate

Output:
