Or you could make it even clearer by using a loop:
messages = [
('track=', 'Your track is'),
('title=', "It's a title of"),
('artist=', "It was played by"),
]
def print_message(s):
for key, msg in messages:
if s.startswith(key):
print msg,s[len(key):]
break
else:
print "Oops, I dunno the pattern for this line..."
for line in ['track="My favorite track"', 'title="My favorite song"',
'artist="Those Dudes"', 'Something else']:
print_message(line)
