For any list x, x.index(item) returns the index of the FIRST occurrence of the item in x. Is there a simple way to identify the LAST occurrence of an item in a list? My solution feels complex - reverse the list, look for the first occurence of the item in the reversed list, and then subtract its index from the length of the list - 1, i.e.
LastOcc = len(x) - 1 - x[::-1].index(item) Is there a simpler solution? Thanks in advance Thomas Philips -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
