How would Python know whether you want find for gettext, mmap, str, 
xml.etree.ElementTree.Element or xml.etree.ElementTree.ElementTree? 
Those are the ones listed in the Windows compiled help file for Python 
3.3.  You could of course have your own find methods or functions, and 
have yet more from third party libraries.
