			return True
		else:
			if ele < arr[mid]:
				return recursive_binary_search(arr[:mid], ele)
			else:
				return recursive_binary_search(arr[mid+1:], ele)

To be fair, I am no biggie/expert when it comes to Python and Django but i think it's good to share something with others than nothing. I am open for collaborations, so if you feel i can be of any help to you than shout me email at joshi.vj22@gmail.com and i will be happy to be of any assistance.
