Write a Python program to print each match of a word with its start and end positions.

python (0, 6)
pytest (11, 17)
pyodide (22, 29)

Approach

1. finditer gives match objects with span().

Solution

import re for m in re.finditer(r"py\w*", "python and pytest use pyodide"):    print(m.group(), m.span())

python (0, 6)
pytest (11, 17)
pyodide (22, 29)
