Care to tell us which book is using a tuple for this, but hasn't got to
lists yet?

Tuples aren't really intended for this kind of use. See:

tuple = ("fred", "barney", "foo")
I know that foo is an element of tuple, but what I need to know is what
the index of foo is, tuple[?].
Larry Bates's solution is probably the best way to go here:
py> t = ("fred", "barney"
I actually find it strange that tuples don't have an index function,
since finding the index doesn't involve any mutation. Anyone know why
Python doesn't allow a statement like t.index('foo')?
In any case, you can use the index method of list objects if you
convert your tuple to a list first:

Tuples, like lists, don't have members in the sense that they can be
"named" like t.foo. The only way of referring to them is

so convert it to a list.
tuple=('a','b','c','d')
l=list(tuple)
now you can do:
list.index('c')
which returns 2
Remember index returns -1 when nothing is found.
No, that's .find in strings that returns -1. .index in lists rai
