You need to make that exclude match = ... since match can also be a variable name. This is because people used to write code like match = re.search(...)

The existing pattern suggested above, "match ...:", will not match 'match = ...'.

Presumably the reason the parent comment suggested semgrep, not just a grep, is because they're aware that naive substring matching would be wrong.

You could use the playground to check your understanding before implying someone is an idiot.
