The Python version, is Python 3.

Re: [Tutor] Help with writing a program
There is an equivalent page in the documentation for Python 3 as well, regarding strings. This sounds a lot like a homework problem so you are unlikely to get a lot of help. You certainly won't get exact code. What have you tried so far? Where are you getting stuck? We're not here to write code for you, this list is meant to help you learn something yourself. If you just want someone to write code for you there are plenty of sites that will do that. But if you want to figure it out I'd be happy to give you some hints if I can see that you're making some effort. One effort you could make would be to find the relevant Python 3 document discussing strings and check if it has some references to finding substrings. Let me know what you try and I'll help you if you get stuck. Thanks, -Luke On Sun, Dec 2, 2012 at 11:31 PM, fantasticrm fantasti...@gmail.com wrote: The Python version, is Python 3.
