I just asked the following question:

Python – find integer closest to 0 in list

The best answer was to use: min(lst, key=abs).

That code returns the item from the list.

How do I get the item number from the list? (i.e. 2 instead of -18)

    >>> lst = [237, 72, -18, 237, 236, 237, 60, -158, -273, -78, 492, 243]
    >>> lst.index(min(lst, key=abs))
    2
