The maximum value does not need to have a unique position.
Which is something that I'll just have to live with, whether I
use home-brew or something from a standard module. For the particular
application, my lists have 24 elements and are converted from data
that is received in a %5.2f format, so collisions aren't too likely
anyway.
The World-Wide Web holds several suggestions like l.index(
max( l )) or max( enumerate( l ), key=( lambda x: x[ 1 ])).
Oh, I like that second one. I tried playing around with a lambda
function, but combining with enumerate eluded me. It's much better
than my for-loop with extraneous variables.
