See the documentation for the str.find() method here:
http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/string-methods.html

The error says that find() does not take any keyword arguments, and you've
supplied 2, (namely, "beg" and "end".) So, try calling find() without
trying to specify beg and end as keyword (e.g. named as you've done)
arguments.

Also read up on keyword arguments (and arguments in general):
http://docs.python.org/release/1.5.1p1/tut/keywordArgs.html
