Fair enough. I think it would make sense for the string methods to also accept single ints where possible as well: For haystack and needles both strings: [haystack.find(n) for n in needles] For both bytes, it's a bit contortionist: [haystack.find(needles[i:i+1]) for i in range(len(needles))] One ends up doing a lot of the [i:i+1] bending when using bytes functions.
