You can use the re module in Python to match regular expressions. Here is an example of how you can use the re.match() function to match a regular expression pattern in a string:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | import re
# Define the regular expression pattern
pattern = r'hello'
# Define the input string
text = 'hello world'
# Use re.match() to match the pattern in the string
match = re.match(pattern, text)
# Check if a match is found
if match:
    print('Match found!')
else:
    print('No match found.')
 | 
In the above example, the re.match() function is used to match the pattern hello in the input string hello world. If a match is found, the program will print Match found!, otherwise it will print No match found..
