#- Hello, I am rather new to python and I have come across a
#- problem that
#- I can not find an answer to any where I my books. What I
#- would like to
#- know is if there is a way to get the index number of a list
#- element by
#- name. Sort of the inverse of the .index() method.
#-
#- For example
#-
#- list = ['this', 'is', 'a', 'list']
#- for item in list:
#- if item = 'list':
#- print ????
#-
#-
#- ???? Is where I want to be able to get the index number, in this case
#- 3 from the list in a simple fasion.
It's just index:
>>> list = ['this', 'is', 'a', 'list']
>>> for item in list:
print list.index(item), item
0 this
1 is
2 a
3 list
>>>
