How about something like
def index(self, x):
return next(i for i, a in enumerate(self) if a == x)
Including start and end:
def index(self, x, start=0, end=-1):
return next(i for i, a in tuple(enumerate(self))[start:end] if a == x)
No cigar. If the element is not found it raises StopIteration. It
should raise ValueError.

How much harder? Can you post your candidate?
It was you that said it could be a 1-liner. The burden of proof is on
you, if you still want to argue the point.
