There is an inconsistency between re and sre:

$ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Apr  9 2002, 13:10:27)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)] on 
linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 
information.
>>> import re
>>> re.finditer('r+?','library')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'finditer'

whereas

>>> import sre
>>> sre.finditer('r+?','library')

works. I also reported to comp.lang.python

Fixed in 2.2.2.
