You don't need to import string. You cAn do the following.

>>> s = 'Hello world!'
>>> s.find('w')

 IOW most of the functions in the string module, are now available as string methods.

The find method (function) returns the index where the substring was found. I'm not sure what you expected to happen.

All the best,
