How is it annoying *in practice*? In actual code the index, instead of being a constant, will be retrieved through various means such as .find() or re.search().start()... as you show yourself later in your message. What is primordial is that Python shows a consistent behaviour, and it does, since indices returned by .find() et al. have the same meaning as indices you can use with the [] operator. AFAIK that's why Guido asked for real-world rather than theoretical examples.
