Scan through \var{string} looking for a location where this regular
expression produces a match. Return \code{None} if no
expression produces a match, and return a
corresponding \class{MatchObject} instance. Return \code{None} if no
position in the string matches the pattern; note that this is
different from finding a zero-length match at some point in the string.
