Get index of partial match in a list

Hi assuming I have the following list:

words = ['maritus', 'et', 'quolibet', 'is', 'habitancium', 'dico', 'locum~locus', 'domus', 'totus', 'tempus', 'vitis', 'is', 'de', 'quolibet', 'ipse']

and the following word: locus

and I want to get the index of where it is found in words ie: 6 the following:

ind = words.index('locus')

will only work for whole words

Use next() on a generator that yields each word in the words list that locus is in. However, since you want the index, you should enumerate the words list and only yield the index, i.

next(i for i, w in enumerate(words) if 'locus' in w)
#6

To get the indexes of all the occurrences, we can use a list-comprehension:

[i for i, w in enumerate(words) if 'locus' in w]
