An easy and simple way to update a list in for loop using a for-loop and list indexing in Python.

Simple example code, use a for-loop with range(stop) as the iterator.

Another Example

Use a list comprehension instead, with a slice assignment if you need to retain existing references to the list.

lst = [1, 3, 5]
updated = lst

lst[:] = [x + 2 for x in lst]
print(updated)

Output: [3, 5, 7]
