If I run it, I get nothing at all, since there's no call to find()). 
And when I add lines that print the results of calling the function, I 
get reasonable results.

How about if you do the following:

1) tell us Python version and OS.
2) show us the whole code, copy/pasted into your message
3) show us the whole error message (traceback), copy/pasted into your 
message

And if you're running it from somewhere other than a terminal window, 
tell us how you're running it.  Or better, run it from a terminal, and 
show us the whole sequence, by copy/pasting from the terminal to the 
message.
