Python dictionary search values for keys using regular expression

Question

I am trying to implement to search for a value in Python dictionary for specific key values (using regular expression as a key).

Example:

I have a Python dictio

Answer 1

def search(dictionary, substr):
    result = []
    for key in dictionary:
        if substr in key:
            result.append((key, dictionary[key]))   
    return result

>>> my_dict={'account_0':123445,'seller_account':454545,'seller_account_0':454676, 'seller_account_number':3433343}
>>> search(my_dict, 'seller_account')
[('seller_account_number', 3433343), ('seller_account_0', 454676), ('seller_account', 454545)]
