You have mangled the code in your email and lost line breaks. Fortunately this 
is simple enough to fix:

astr = "foobar"
str1 ="foo"
astr.find(str1, beg=0, end=3)

Please take more care to post code in PLAIN TEXT, not html "rich text", which 
may mangle line breaks and break the code.

Did you read the error message?

"find() takes no keyword arguments"

This means just what it says: the find method does not take keyword arguments. 
Do you understand what keyword arguments are?


# Wrong, will not work:
astr.find(str1, begin=23, end=42)

# Right, will work:
astr.find(str1, 23, 42)
