Hello Brendan,
please try to be a bit more verbose next time: a terse report is
highly unlikely to generate a positive reply.

Also, this mailing list is not the one you're looking for, since it's
about bugs/enhangements in the documentation of python, you probably
want http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Anyhow, I gave it a try and it seems to work:

$ python2.6
Python 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Aug  3 2011, 11:33:52)
[GCC 4.6.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import re
>>> r = re.compile('as', re.I)
>>> r.findall('asdfAsdf')
['as', 'As']
>>>

$ python2.7
Python 2.7.2+ (default, Jan 20 2012, 17:51:10)
[GCC 4.6.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import re
>>> r = re.compile('as', re.I)
>>> r.findall('asdfAsdf')
['as', 'As']
>>>

Regards.
