Python list.index throws exception when index not found | 674,229 | <p>Why does list.index throws an exception instead of returning a value like say -1? What's the idea behind this?</p>
<p>To me it looks cleaner to deal with special values, etc than exceptions.</p>
<p>EDIT: I didn't realize -1 to be usable, but in that case, how about a value of None?</p>
| 9 | 2009-03-23T16:58:07Z | 674,277 | <p>It's a semantic argument. If you want to know the index of an element, you are claiming that it already exists in the list. If you want to know whether or not it exists, you should use <code>in</code>.</p>

python class __getitem__ negative index handling | 675,140 | <p>Is there a common function to do this? Right now I'm just doing the following (and overriding __len__)</p>

| 4 | 2009-03-24T07:44:38Z | 677,133 | <p>App Engine code only runs in response to HTTP requests, so you can't run a persistent crawler in the background. With the upcoming release of scheduled tasks, you could write a crawler that uses that functionality, but it would be less than ideal.</p>
