Not sure if this is what you are looking for but...
>>> li = ['this','is','a','list','of','strings']
>>> li = [l for l in li if li.index(l) >= li.index('a')]
>>> li
['a', 'list', 'of', 'strings']
>>>

Hi,
I have a Python list. I can't figure out how to find an element's

Use enumerate() (new in Python 2.3, IIRC). Otherwise:
for i in range(len(sequence)):
item = sequence[i]
...

This finds the right bar, but not its list position. The reason I need
