how to index a set in python

"""
You can't index a set in python.
The concept of sets in Python is inspired in Mathmatics. If you are interested
in knowing if any given item belongs in a set, it shouldn't matter "where" in
the set that item is located. With that being said, if you still want to
accomplish this, this code should work, and, simultaneously, show why it's a 
bad idea
