Answer 1

regex = "some" will work fine. You don't need to surround the word with "/"s in Python. But this will also match "some" in the word "something" too.

If you need "some" to appear as a standalone word, you can require it to be surrounded with whitespace. regex = "\s" + word + "\s" will do this.
