hi,
I need to get the index of an object in a list. I know that no two objects
in the list are the same, but objects might evaluate as equal. for example
list = [obj1, obj2, obj3, obj4, obj5]
for object in list:
objectIndex = list.index(object)
print objectIndex
prints 0, 1, 2, 3, 2 instead of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 because obj3 == obj5. I could loop
through the list a second time comparing id()'s
for object in list:
objectIndex = 0
for i in list:
if id(object) == id(i):
break
objectIndex += 1
print objectIndex
but that seems like a real ugly pain. Somewhere, someplace python is keeping
track of the current index in list, does anyone know how to access it? Or have
any other suggestions?
