So basically I have a list like this –
[None,None,None,val]
and I don’t know what val
is. So how do I get the index of val (3) only knowing that it is not None

Answer
This one line solution gives you the first value that is not None.
values = filter(lambda item: item is not None, mylist) target_value = next(values) print(target_value)
This returns the actual value, to get the index, look into this answer first comment which is:
next(filter(lambda item: item[1] is not None, enumerate(mylist)))[0]
