Why not just this (by object, not by its index, but that seems simpler):

  >>> do_something(next(filter(pred, somelist)))
  Something about 55
  >>> somelist
  [3, 4, 29, 23, 46, 55, 90, 81]
  >>> pred
  <function div5 at 0x7fd10794ee50>

Steven, using David's example list, what would `needle` and `comparison` be in 
your proposal?
