Title
Body
Is there a way in Python to access match groups without explicitly creating a match object (or another way to beautify the example below)? Here is an example to clarify my motivation for the question: Following Perl code if ($statement =~ /I love (\w+)/) { print "He loves $1\n"; } elsif ($statement =~ /Ich liebe (\w+)/) { print "Er liebt $1\n"; } elsif ($statement =~ /Je t\'aime (\w+)/) { print "Il aime $1\n"; } translated into Python m = re.search("I love (\w+)", statement) if m: print "He loves",m.group(1) else: m = re.search("Ich liebe (\w+)", statement) if m: print "Er liebt",m.group(1) else: m = re.search("Je t'aime (\w+)", statement) if m: print "Il aime",m.group(1) looks very awkward (if-else-cascade, match object creation).
