Good call. Additionally, it's weird to me that the docstring for str.find() says "Return -1 on failure." because the string not being found is not a "failure". Like the docs (https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/stdtypes.html#str.find) say, the str.find() docstring should say "Return -1 if sub is not found."
