As is often the case in Python, string methods suffice. Particularly
for something so simple, regexes aren't necessary.

Note that Python's indices start at 0. Your example output uses 1-based indices.

def find_all(string, substr):
    start = 0
    while True:
        try:
            pos = string.index(substr, start)
        except ValueError:
            break
        else:
            yield pos
            start = pos + 1

str1 = "ha,hihi,aaaaa,ok"
print list(find_all(str1, ","))  #===> [2, 7, 13]


In the future, I recommend reading the documentation for Python's string type:
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods

What opinion are you contrary ("contro") to anyway?
