DNAC API network-device

[Netmart]

Hello, 

Instead of printing the whole network device table, I only wanted to search/filter for certain devices containing a certain string like  "rpvg" which are part of the hostname. Below you will find an extract of my code. The if statement is intended to filter for a certain string like: if item["hostname"] == <'containing string 'rpvg'>:

Note sure if could utilize the "re" module and set up a filter with regular expression 

Thanks,

def get_network_device(token

 #my_access_token=my_tkn_req.json()["Token"]

 my_access_token=token

 my_url="https://"+my_dna_ctr+"/dna/intent/api/v1/network-device"

 my_headers={"x-auth-token":my_access_token,

            "Content-Type": "application/json"}

 resp = requests.get(my_url, headers=my_headers,verify=False)

 network_device = resp.json()

 dnac_devices = PrettyTable(["Hostname", "Management Ip Address", "Serial Number",

 "platform Id", "Software Type", "Software Version","Role", "Up Time","Id"])

 dnac_devices.padding_width = 1

 for item in network_device['response']:

    if item["hostname"] == <'containing string 'rpvg'>:

        dnac_devices.add_row([item["hostname"], item["managementIpAddress"],

        item["serialNumber"], item["platformId"],item["softwareType"],

        item["softwareVersion"], item["role"], item["upTime"],item["id"]])

 print('\nList of Devices in DNA-\n', dnac_device

The easiest way to achieve this is to use the "in" operator:

....
if "rpgv" in item["hostname"]:
....
