print re.findall( (am|an) , s)

I want the results to be the same for each string. What am I doing
wrong?

According to documentation re.findall takes a compiled pattern as a
first argument. So try
patt = re.compile(r'(am|an)')
re.findall(patt, s1)
re.findall(patt, s2)

findall() finds

In your first case, the regexp is consuming the am (four
