Yup, list.index is almost certainly what you want, though it's worth
mentioning that list.index returns the *first* occurrence of the item in
the list. You can get later items by supplying an appropriate starting
index:
my_list = ['cat', 'dog', 'mouse', 'bear', 'dog']
my_list.index(' dog')
1 my_list.index(' dog', 2)
4 my_list.index(' dog', 5)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interacti ve input>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: list.index(x): x not in list

these are the /start/ and /stop/ indices and...

Looking to do something similair. I'm working with alot of timestamps
and if they're within a couple seconds I need them to be indexed and
removed from a list.
Is there any possible way to index with a custom cmp() function?
I assume it would be something like...
list.index(something,mycmp)
Thanks!
