Look at next value in list?

How do i go about telling blender to look at the next value in a list. ie.

import GameLogic as GL 

me = GL.getCurrentController().getOwner() 
target1 = GL.getCurrentScene().getObjectList()["OBSphere.001"] 
target2 = GL.getCurrentScene().getObjectList()["OBSphere.002"]
target3 = GL.getCurrentScene().getObjectList()["OBSphere"]

reportpoint = [target1, target2, target3]

mepos = me.getPosition() 
targetpos = reportpoint[0].getPosition() 

 
xdist = targetpos[0] - mepos[0] 
ydist = targetpos[1] - mepos[1] 
zdist = targetpos[2] - mepos[2] 
 
if mepos != targetpos:
	newpos = [mepos[0]+xdist*0.1,mepos[1]+ydist*0.1,mepos[2]+zdist*0.1] 
	me.setPosition(newpos)

What i want the code to do is when mepos = targetpos, it should then redefine targetpos to look at the next item in reportpoint list. Im very new to python as you can probably see. I’ve probably gone completey off of what im supposed to do :-?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Maybe this does what you want?

import GameLogic as GL 

me = GL.getCurrentController().getOwner() 
target1 = GL.getCurrentScene().getObjectList()["OBSphere.001"] 
target2 = GL.getCurrentScene().getObjectList()["OBSphere.002"]
target3 = GL.getCurrentScene().getObjectList()["OBSphere"]

reportpoint = [target1, target2, target3]

mepos = me.getPosition()

for i in range(len(reportpoint)):
    targetpos = reportpoint[i].getPosition()
    dist = targetpos - mepos
    newpos = mepos + dist*0.1
    me.setPosition(newpos)

There should be neater ways to do it though: http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node11.html#SECTION0011900000000000000000

lol i KNOW theres neater ways to do it. My skills in scripting are lacking hugely, but i’m learning! Thanks for that
