How to find the position of an item of a list in python?

Question

I have two lists. The first list has a specific length and the second list has unstable length. I want to assign the items from two lists. I use colour_index = sel_pos%(len(colours)) . The sel_pos is the item's position from the unstable list. How to find the position every time?

Answer 1

Use l.index(n) to find index of n in list l .

>>> x = [1,3,7]
>>> x.index(3)
1

Answer 2

colour_index = selections.index(txt)%(len(colours))

Answer 3

您可以使用Index函数，该函数获取元素并在列表中返回其索引：

indexNumber = MyList.Index(Element)
