1) Doesn't the read() file object method return the specified
characters from the file as a string?
Yes
2) If #1 is correct, then why is my variable "source" being viewed
as
a list as opposed to a string?
You are not using read(), you are using readlines()
which returns all of the lines in a list.
3) How can I change my variable "source" so that it can use the
'find'
method?
Use read()
