I'm reading through the eBook
"how to think like a computer programmer" python version
and I'm following along in chapter 7.9 "The string Module"
however I get this error from this code, any ideas ? the output is
completely not expected

#!/usr/bin/python2
import string
fruit = "banana"
count = 0
index = 0
for char in fruit:
if char == 'a':
count = count + 1
print count
indeX = string.find(fruit, "a")
print indeX

<output>
