const regex = /^(?:from\s+[\w.]+\s+)?import\s+[\w.,\s]+$/gm;
const test = "from os.path import join";
console.log(regex.test(test)); // true

// Extract matches
const matches = test.match(regex);
console.log(matches);

import re

pattern = r'^(?:from\s+[\w.]+\s+)?import\s+[\w.,\s]+$'
test = "from os.path import join"
match = re.findall(pattern, test)
print(match)  # Found!

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "regexp"
)

func main() {
    re := regexp.MustCompile(`^(?:from\s+[\w.]+\s+)?import\s+[\w.,\s]+$`)
    fmt.Println(re.MatchString("from os.path import join")) // true
