Sorry, I just thought that:
if '>' in rawdata[j:]
would do a search, that is, that the implementation of "in" would just reuse/call the implementation of "find" and that the position returned would be used as: -1: not in != -1: in which seemed to me like the easy implementation of "in". That's why I was wondering why to search twice.
Now I realize that it doesn't work the way I thought. Thank you for showing me and sorry for the confusion.
Best regards, Guido (another Guido ;-) )

Warning: see http://bugs.python.org/issue17170. Depending on the length of the string being scanned and the probability of finding the specific character, the proposed change could actually be a *pessimization*. OTOH if the character occurs many times, the slice will actually cause O(N**2) behavior. So yes, it depends greatly on the distribution of the input data.
That said, the savings are still puny unless you spend your time calling str.find().

Antoine.
