@shash在其他地方回答了这个问题

找到最大列表元素的索引的python方法是 Position = max(enumerate(a)， key=lambda x: x[1])[0]

一个通过。然而，它比@Silent_Ghost的解决方案慢，甚至比@nmichaels的解决方案更慢:

for i in s m j n; do echo $i;  python -mtimeit -s"import maxelements as me" "me.maxelements_${i}(me.a)"; done
s
100000 loops, best of 3: 3.13 usec per loop
m
100000 loops, best of 3: 4.99 usec per loop
j
100000 loops, best of 3: 3.71 usec per loop
n
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.31 usec per loop

我无法重现@martineau引用的@SilentGhost-beating的表演。以下是我的比较结果:

=== maxelements.py ===

a = [32, 37, 28, 30, 37, 25, 27, 24, 35, 55, 23, 31, 55, 21, 40, 18, 50,
             35, 41, 49, 37, 19, 40, 41, 31]
b = range(10000)
c = range(10000 - 1, -1, -1)
d = b + c

def maxelements_s(seq): # @SilentGhost
    ''' Return list of position(s) of largest element '''
    m = max(seq)
    return [i for i, j in enumerate(seq) if j == m]

def maxelements_m(seq): # @martineau
    ''' Return list of position(s) of largest element '''
    max_indices = []
    if len(seq):
        max_val = seq[0]
        for i, val in ((i, val) for i, val in enumerate(seq) if val >= max_val):
            if val == max_val:
                max_indices.append(i)
            else:
                max_val = val
                max_indices = [i]
    return max_indices

def maxelements_j(seq): # @John Machin
    ''' Return list of position(s) of largest element '''
    if not seq: return []
    max_val = seq[0] if seq[0] >= seq[-1] else seq[-1]
    max_indices = []
    for i, val in enumerate(seq):
        if val < max_val: continue
        if val == max_val:
            max_indices.append(i)
        else:
            max_val = val
            max_indices = [i]
    return max_indices

在Windows XP SP3上运行Python 2.7的旧笔记本电脑的结果:

还有一个解决方案，只给出第一个外观，可以通过使用numpy实现:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a_np = np.array(a)
>>> np.argmax(a_np)
9

>>> max(enumerate([1,2,3,32,1,5,7,9]),key=lambda x: x[1])
>>> (3, 32)

类似的想法与列表理解，但没有枚举

m = max(a)
[i for i in range(len(a)) if a[i] == m]

只有一句话:

idx = max(range(len(a)), key = lambda i: a[i])
