Matthew Barnett added the comment:

Like the OP, I would've expected it to handle negative indexes the way that 
strings do.

In practice, I wouldn't normally provide negative indexes; I'd use some string 
or regex method to determine the search limits, and then pass them to finditer 
and findall, so they'd be non-negative anyway.
