Question from Python for ArcGIS textbook:

Write a script that gets a list of the Field objects for an input shapefile with an attribute table and prints the name, data type, and length of each field. Use the built-in enumerate function to print the index number for each field (Field 0, Field 1...). It should take one argument, the input file. The printed output should follow the format of the following example:

>>>Field 0: Name = FID, Type = OID, Length = 4

Field 1: Name = Shape, Type = Geometry, Length = 0

Field 2: Name = COVER, Type = String, Length = 5

Input file can be any shapefile.
