Oh and I know you could just do
>>> white_rabbit.find('late', 0, 19)

But I'm looking to know how to shorten that so the 0 isn't needed.

def shortfind(str, substr, end):
  return str.find(substr, 0, end)


shortfind(white_rabbit, 'late', 19)

def shortfind(str, substr, end):
  return str.find(substr, 0, end)


shortfind(white_rabbit, 'late', 19)

So in other words there's no way to shorten the method call for an end index in a single line of code? unlike specifying the starting index in a code example below?

white_rabbit.find('late', 7)

Nope, but I don't see what you're trying to gain by finding syntactic sugar for the same result. Just specify 0 as the first parameter.

Okay, thanks for the info. I just like to know if there's a simpler and shorter way to do a task.
