I made the minimal change that implements the functionality suggested, in terms of find/rfind, they return -1. The least painful way to replace it with index is:

try: i=str.index(foo) except ValueError: i = -1

As for the plain except clauses, that was just laziness on my part. It's not meant to be stylistically consistent or beautiful, rather it is meant to be functional and as a starting point. Feel free to change/rewrite the patch. The GENERAL CASE, i.e. one that is applicable throughout the code is the try/except clauses shown above.
