since most of the changes appear to be variations of the pattern

    - index = foo.find(bar)
    + try:
    +     index = foo.index(bar)
    + except:
    +     index = -1

it sure looks like the "get rid of find; it's the same thing as index" idea might
be somewhat misguided.  I think I'm "idea".find("good") on this one.  better
use this energy on partitionifying the 2.6 standard library instead.
