It looks like you're using an extra-old version of Python,
because mystring.find(sub) really should work.
  http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/string-methods.html

>>> x = "lovely spam, wonderful spam!"
>>> x.find('spam')
7
>>> x.find('food')
-1

So you must be using Python 1.6 or earlier.  Try this.
  http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-string.html

>>> import string
>>> string.find(x, 'spam')
7
