Jeff - Gracias !!
I am fairly new to python. Thanks for the example code snippet above.
It is the same amount of code as receiving -1 and then checking for
doing an "if else" for -1 so now i don't feel bad. But, being new to
this paradigm, raising of an exception when it can't find the element
appears to be weird to me for some unexplainable reason.
