title: Returning an index of an alphabetical list python
body: <p>So I'm working on a homework for a beginning python class.  I'm asked to write a function taking two parameters, one a string and one of a list in alphabetical order.  The function is to return the integer index as to where the string would be placed in order for the list to stay alphabetized.  </p>
  
  <p>I am not allowed to insert anything into the list, or append the list in any matter (I tried just adding the string to the list, resorting and then returning the index for where the string now lived)  All the function is to return is the integer index value.  I could use some direction as to where to start without using an insert and resorting... Thanks.</p>
