Just add this to the end of normal(s):

transposed = zip(*v)
print '\n', transposed
withindices = zip(transposed, range(len(transposed)))
result = min(withindices)[1]
print '\n\n', result, r[result]

Instead of transposing via zip(*v) it might also be possible to generate the data in that way in the first place.

I just took a closer look at your code, and I noticed your list q contains exactly what you need. That means you don't need the first zip, you can just do

 withindices = zip(q, range(len(q)))
 result = min(withindices)[1]

Or alternatively, maybe it's better not to keep track of the indices and just do a search in the list:

 result = q.index(min(q))
