The maximum value does not need to have a unique position. Which is something that I'll just have to live with, whether I use home-brew or something from a standard module. For the particular application, my lists have 24 elements and are converted from data that is received in a %5.2f format, so collisions aren't too likely anyway. The World-Wide Web holds several suggestions like l.index( max( l )) or max( enumerate( l ), key=( lambda x: x[ 1 ])). Oh, I like that second one. I tried playing around with a lambda function, but combining with enumerate eluded me. It's much better than my for-loop with extraneous variables. -- Michael F.
