given a string:

    ^   ^     ^ ^ (these should be found)
I want to get the positions of all single 'a' characters.
(Without another 'a' neighbour)

So I tried: r=re.compile('[^a]a([^a]')

but this applies only for the a's, which has neighbours.
So I need also '^a' and 'a$'.


Am I doing something wrong? Is there a easier solution?
How can I quickly get all these positions?


Thank you in advance.

import re s='abcdatraataza' r=re.compile('(?<!a)a(?!a)') a_list=[ match.start() for match in re2.finditer(s) ]
