l.index(max(l)) will give you the index of the first occurrance of the 
maximum.

m = max(l)
[ i for i,v in enumerate(l) if v==m ]

will give you a list of all indices where the max occurs. (Putting the 
'max(l)' outside the list comprehension prevents it from being evaluated 
for each loop element.)
