Yes, str.find() returns -1 on failure. See below the documentation for
str.find()
| find(...)
| S.find(sub [,start [,end]]) -> int
|
| Return the lowest index in S where substring sub is found,
| such that sub is contained within s[start:end]. Optional
| arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation.
|
| Return -1 on failure.
Idle example:
>>> teststr = 'a'
>>> teststr.find('a')
0
>>> teststr.find('b')
-1
