Yes, that way your problem may shift from inconvenient to
outright hairy. ;-)

What about
def _index_to_level(index):
return index + 1
with this or a different name? This admittedly is longer
than writing `something + 1` but in the latter case you
might wonder what the addition is for, i. e. if it's really
a level offset calculation or something else.
