另一种选择

>>> a = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'red']
>>> b = 'red'
>>> offset = 0;
>>> indices = list()
>>> for i in range(a.count(b)):
...     indices.append(a.index(b,offset))
...     offset = indices[-1]+1
... 
>>> indices
[0, 3]
>>> 

这里提出的所有函数都再现了固有的语言行为，但掩盖了正在发生的事情。

[i for i in range(len(mylist)) if mylist[i]==myterm]  # get the indices

[each for each in mylist if each==myterm]             # get the items

mylist.index(myterm) if myterm in mylist else None    # get the first index and fail quietly

如果语言提供了自己想要的方法，为什么要编写带有异常处理的函数？

另一种选择

>>> a = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'red']
>>> b = 'red'
>>> offset = 0;
>>> indices = list()
>>> for i in range(a.count(b)):
...     indices.append(a.index(b,offset))
...     offset = indices[-1]+1
... 
>>> indices
[0, 3]
>>> 

此解决方案不如其他解决方案强大，但如果您是初学者，只知道forloops，则仍有可能找到项目的第一个索引，同时避免ValueError：

def find_element(p,t):
    i = 0
    for e in p:
        if e == t:
            return i
        else:
            i +=1
    return -1

对于一个可比的

# Throws ValueError if nothing is found
some_list = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'].index('baz')
# some_list == 2

自定义谓词

some_list = [item1, item2, item3]

# Throws StopIteration if nothing is found
# *unless* you provide a second parameter to `next`
index_of_value_you_like = next(
    i for i, item in enumerate(some_list)
    if item.matches_your_criteria())

按谓词查找所有项的索引

index_of_staff_members = [
    i for i, user in enumerate(users)
    if user.is_staff()]

使用字典，首先处理列表，然后将索引添加到其中

from collections import defaultdict

index_dict = defaultdict(list)    
word_list =  ['foo','bar','baz','bar','any', 'foo', 'much']

for word_index in range(len(word_list)) :
    index_dict[word_list[word_index]].append(word_index)

word_index_to_find = 'foo'       
print(index_dict[word_index_to_find])

# output :  [0, 5]
