	If it isn't in the library reference manual, NO...

	But it also isn't that difficult to write...

>>> def whatAt(function, data):
... 	what = function(data)
... 	at = data.index(what)
... 	return (at, what)
... 
>>> l = [	1.618033,	3.1415923536,	2.718282	]
>>> whatAt(min, l)
(0, 1.618033)
>>> whatAt(max, l)
(1, 3.1415923536)
>>> 

(properly, I should either reverse the order of the return value, or change
the name to atWhat() )
