index()-like behavior that returns all occurences...

Well, you could do a one liner with the lambda, map, zip, filter routines:

    map (lambda x: x[0], filter (lambda x: not x[1], zip (range(len(x)), x)))

But this has _got_ to be less readable than the simple for loop,
even to whomever it was that championed getting map, reduce and
filter into the Python language in the first place.
