Lists have a index() method. For the tuple, you can convert it
to a list:
indexOfTwo = list(T).index("Two")
Dictionaries don't have a defined ordering, so there's no similar
functionality (because results would be meaningless) unless you
convert it to a list, and then you can snag its index in the
arbitrarily-ordered results (or sort the results first).
If you just need to test for presence, and don't need the index,
you can use
"Two" in T
Just a few ideas...
