Synopsis

                     s.find(sub,start=0,end=sys.maxint)

Returns the lowest index in s where substring sub is found, such that sub is entirely contained in s [ start:end ]. For example, 'banana'.find('na') is 2, as is 'banana'.find('na',1), while 'banana'.find('na',3) is 4, as is 'banana'.find('na',-2). find returns -1 if sub is not found.
