Hi,
you can use re.finditer to match all "," and the start() method of the
respective matches;
cf.:
http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#match-objects


>>> import re
>>> [m.start() for m in re.finditer(r",", "ha,hihi,aaaaa,ok")]
[2, 7, 13]
>>>

[The obtained indices are zero-based, as has already been mentioned.]
