As noted in the comments for bpo-2831, the enumerate docstring doesn't cover the feature added by that patch.

[durban]

Attached a patch. It changes the docstring to:
"enumerate(iterable[, start]) -> iterator for index, value of iterable

Return an enumerate object. iterable must be another object that supports
iteration, start must be an integer (defaults to 0). The enumerate object
yields pairs containing a count (from start) and a value yielded by the
iterable argument. enumerate is useful for obtaining an indexed list:
(0, seq[0]), (1, seq[1]), (2, seq[2]), ..."

Thanks, fixed in r81468 with a slightly different patch.
