For more details about lists you can check Lists tutorial

Output:
>>> a_list = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> a_list.index('b')
1
>>> 'c' in a_list
True

Do not use private messages to seek help, use regular posts.

If you need to get indices of all positions of particular term in a list, you can iterate over that list and check its elements and eventually add index to your "list of matching indices". And you can shorten it with a list comprehension:

Output:
>>> a_list = list("sdflksdjfajfd")

>>> a_list
['s', 'd', 'f', 'l', 'k', 's', 'd', 'j', 'f', 'a', 'j', 'f', 'd']
>>> occurences_of_f = [idx for idx, item in enumerate(a_list) if item == "f"]
>>> occurences_of_f
[2, 8, 11]
