数据操作/索引python vs R

Question

I am inexperienced with python and am unsure what i should search for this particular task. I am trying to find a way to index a list much like i would index a vector in R:

R

vec=c(1,2,3)

> vec==1

[1]  TRUE FALSE FALSE

python

>>> list_a=[1,2,3]
>>> list_a==1
False

separate attempt in python

for i in list_a:
...     i==1
... 
False
False
False

Notice above that it is False for all three values even though the first value is 1???

And yet

>>> for i in list_a:
...     if i==1:
...             print('hello')
... 
hello

Hence when it comes to python I am just looking for a way to index the the python list in the same way as i can I'm R???

Answer 1

What about :

>>> [x == 1 for x in list_a]
[True, False, False]

Answer 2

an alternative:

map(lambda x: x == 1, list_a)
#[True, False, False]
