该值可能不存在，因此为了避免此ValueError，我们可以检查列表中是否确实存在该值。

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

item_to_find = "foo"

if item_to_find in list:
      index = list.index(item_to_find)
      print("Index of the item is " + str(index))
else:
    print("That word does not exist") 

对此有一个更实用的答案。

list(filter(lambda x: x[1]=="bar",enumerate(["foo", "bar", "baz", "bar", "baz", "bar", "a", "b", "c"])))

更通用的形式：

def get_index_of(lst, element):
    return list(map(lambda x: x[0],\
       (list(filter(lambda x: x[1]==element, enumerate(lst))))))

简单地说，你可以

a = [['hand', 'head'], ['phone', 'wallet'], ['lost', 'stock']]
b = ['phone', 'lost']

res = [[x[0] for x in a].index(y) for y in b]

简单选项：

a = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
[i for i in range(len(a)) if a[i].find("bar") != -1]

我发现这两种解决方案更好，我自己尝试过

>>> expences = [2200, 2350, 2600, 2130, 2190]
>>> 2000 in expences
False
>>> expences.index(2200)
0
>>> expences.index(2350)
1
>>> index = expences.index(2350)
>>> expences[index]
2350

>>> try:
...     print(expences.index(2100))
... except ValueError as e:
...     print(e)
... 
2100 is not in list
>>> 

name ="bar"
list = [["foo", 1], ["bar", 2], ["baz", 3]]
new_list=[]
for item in list:
    new_list.append(item[0])
print(new_list)
try:
    location= new_list.index(name)
except:
    location=-1
print (location)

这说明了如果字符串不在列表中，如果它不在列表，则位置=-1
