Getting indices of True values in a boolean list

by

Use enumerate, list.index returns the index of first match found.

>>> t = [False, False, False, False, True, True, False, True, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False]
>>> [i for i, x in enumerate(t) if x]
[4, 5, 7]

For huge lists, it’d be better to use itertools.compress:

>>> from itertools import compress
>>> list(compress(xrange(len(t)), t))
[4, 5, 7]
>>> t = t*1000
>>> %timeit [i for i, x in enumerate(t) if x]
100 loops, best of 3: 2.55 ms per loop
>>> %timeit list(compress(xrange(len(t)), t))
1000 loops, best of 3: 696 µs per loop
