Question

PS3: I'm trying to do the from string import * and subsequently the find("atgc", ....) but it doesn't seem to recognise "find" or "str.find" or "string.find". :/

Answer 2

Try either this:

from string import *
target = 'banana'
key = 'na'
b = target.find(key)
print b

or

from string import *
target = 'banana'
key = 'na'
b = find(target, key)
print b

realize you can put the 'raw' string into the find command or a variable
and keep at it!

Answer 3

also - the 'str' of str.find(.....) is the variable name of the target string and not actually 'str' (in case that wasn't clear)
