  <pre><code>list = [1,2,2,3,5,5,6,7]
  
  for item in mylist:
      ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I find the index of the item I am looking at, at some point in my loop? I can see there is a <code>index()</code> method for <code>lists</code> but it will always give me the first index of a value, so it won't work for lists with duplicate items</p>
