I am also completely new to Python, but when checking the zope doc
(AppendixA.htm) i saw one DTML string function 
       find(s, sub[start [,end]])
  :- Returns the lowest index s where the substring sub is found such that
sub is wholly contained in s[start:end].

I assumed this will serve my purpose but when i tried it, this is the error
i received when try to view it

 Error Type: AttributeError
 Error Value: find

pls help me out.
