How I can do a regex match in a string with ascii and non ascii chars
for example:

regex = re.compile(r"(ÿÿ?ð?öÂty)", re.IGNORECASE)
match = regex.search("ÿÿ?ð?öÂty")
if match:
result = match.group()
print result
else:
result = "No match found"
print result

it return "no match found" even if the two string are equal.

For equal strings you should get a match:

re.compile("Zäöü", re.IGNORECASE).search("yadda zäöü yadda")
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x401e0a68>
print _.group()
zäöü

For case ignorance your best bet is unicode:

re.compile(u"äöü", re.IGNORECASE|re.UNICODE).search(u"ÄÖÜ")
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x401e09f8>
