Sure, but writing a `finditer` for plain `str` is pretty easy
(untested):
pos = 0
while True:
found = s.find(substring,
string.count() only tells me there are N instances of the string; it does not
say where they begin and end, as does re.finditer.

I went to the re module because the specified string may appear more than once
in the string (in the code I'm writing). For example:
a = "X - abc_degree + 1 + qq + abc_degree + 1"
b = "abc_degree + 1"
q = a.find(b)
print(q)
4
So it correctly finds the start of the first instance, but not
the backslash
breaks the match from going further.
