a = 132
b = [0, 10, 30, 60, 100, 150, 210, 280, 340, 480, 530]
I want to know that a should be in the 6th position in ordered list b.
What’s the most pythonic way to do so?

Use bisect. It’s not the most beautiful API, but it’s exactly what you need.
You’ll want to use
bisect.bisect, which returns exactly what you want.
