Please take this to Python ideas. My understanding is that index() is supposed to be the one-way-to-do-it going forward. The find() API proved to be problematic because -1 is a valid index and people were hitting bugs by failing to check for the -1 and then doing an unintended s[-1]. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger resolution: -> rejected stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40531> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
