How do I access the index in a for loop like the following?

ints = [8, 23, 45, 12, 78]
for i in ints:
    print('item #{} = {}'.format(???, i))

I want to get this output:

item #1 = 8
item #2 = 23
item #3 = 45
item #4 = 12
item #5 = 78

When I loop through it using a for loop, how do I access the loop index, from 1 to 5 in this case?
