Finding the index of an item given a list containing it in Python?

Question

For a list `["foo", "bar", "baz"]` and an item in the list `"bar"`, how do I get its index (1) in Python?

Answer 1

def get_idx(key):

try:

return [idx for idx, ele in enumerate(list) if ele == "bar"][0]

except IndexError:

return None

list = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]

print(get_idx("bar"))
