count=0
for tuple in list_of_tuples:
    print count, tuple[1], ":", tuple[0]

    # Alternative print statement
    print "%s %s: %s" % (count,tuple[1],tuple[0])

    count=count+1

The syntax elem[0:] picks out all member from 0 to the end of the list or
tuple.  Also, it is asking for trouble to use the same variable name
("elem") in the inner and outer loops.
