You want 'import sre'

>>> import sre
>>> import re
>>> re.finditer('r+?','library')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'finditer'
>>> sre.finditer('r+?','library')
<callable-iterator object at 0x4018dda0>

Is this a documentation bug?
