I was wondering what the best approach for the following might be.

Say you have a list P of points and another list N of other items. You can
always assume that

len(N) <= len(P)

Now I would like to iterate over P and place one N at each point. However
if you run out of N I'd like to restart from N[0] and carry on until all
the points have been populated.
So far I've got

for point in points:
