It is made using recurrsion

we need two functions to be served in one...

The first one is a normal loop and secondly a for each loop

for the function, i used a variable that i specify and kwargs for the code

this is how we start it

in order to find if a number is given for the range, i use a key present function

such as this

here i am using the keyterm length for range

so here, i used a try except statement if the function that the user gives needs the index or doesnt resulting in a slightly more user friendly experience

_For Each

this is the code for for each loops

it takes the iterable and then returns it to the function and finally recurrs

and thats it

the function is done

here is how to call a numbered loop

and this for for each loops

func is the function that has the code intended to run in the for loop

the order can be changed around as it uses a keyword system making it slightly more user friendly

I fail to see how this is more user friendly than ```py
for x in my_list:
func(x)

or ```py
for i in range(10):
func(i)

I think you just wanted to make a c-style for loop

Have you considered using a generator?

def universal_for(iterable):
  if isinstance(iterable, int):
    yield from range(iterable)
  else:
    yield from iterable

for i in universal_for(10):
  print(f"Index: {i}")

for item in universal_for(my_list):
  print(f"Item: {item}")
