Generate index with tuple

Question

I'm generating an index value associated with each tuple value :

a = ["what" , "a" , "test"]

c = 0
d = []
for b in a : 
    d.append((c , b))
    c = c + 1

print(d)

generates :

[(0, 'what'), (1, 'a'), (2, 'test')]

Is there Python idiomatic / functional way to implement same functionality ?

Something like :

list(map(lambda x : (x , c+1) , a))

Note, in Python, "idiomatic / functional" is a bit of an oxymoron: generally, while Python does support functional constructs, it is an idiomatically procedural language. — juanpa.arrivillaga, Feb 13 '18 at 21:54

list(enumerate(a)) should give you what you want
