yes, there's a thread with the same title, but I believe mine is more appropriate title. so, as much as I search on the web, read manuals, tutorials, mail-lists (including this one) I cannot figure it out how to search a string in a list of lists. like this one:
someList = [['somestring', 1, 2], ['oneother', 2, 4]] I want to search "somestring" in someList which is in practice a list of aprox. 200 lists. (hey, I'm a newbie python programmer, don't judge me). is the list.index the wrong approach? should I use numpy, numarray, something else? can anyone, be kind and help me with this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
