The obvious simple near-equivalent is:

     data = range(33,99)
     print data.index(45)

And "generalized":
     data = [x % 9 for x in range(30)]
     result = []
     former = -1
     try:
         while True:
             former = data.index(3, former + 1)
             result.append(former)
     except ValueError:
         print result
     else:
         print 'Nothing found'
