def test(s):
    for i in range(len(s) - 2):
        if s[i] == s[i + 1]:
            return [i, i + 1]
        if s[i] == s[i + 2]:
            return [i, i + 2] 

strs = "Python"
print("Original string:",strs) 
print("Find two indices making the said string unhappy!")
print(test(strs))
strs = "Unhappy"
print("\nOriginal string:",strs) 
print("Find two indices making the said string unhappy!")
print(test(strs)) 
strs = "Find"
print("\nOriginal string:",strs) 
print("Find two indices making the said string unhappy!")
print(test(strs))
strs = "Street"
print("\nOriginal string:",strs) 
print("Find two indices making the said string unhappy!")
print(test(strs))

Sample Output:

Original string: Python
Find two indices making the said string unhappy!
None

Original string: Unhappy
Find two indices making the said string unhappy!
[4, 5]

Original string: Find
Find two indices making the said string unhappy!
