When something does not act as expected, look in the manual or try the 
builtin help facility, which only takes seconds.

>>> help(list.index)
Help on method_descriptor:

index(...)
    L.index(value) -> integer -- return index of first occurrence of value

dir(object) will give you a list of attributes and methods.   You can look 
up new ones the same way.  In particular, dir(list) and dir(__builtins__).
