I am trying to parse a file whose contents are :

is there a way to match multiple patterns using regex and return a
dictionary. What I am looking for is (pseudo code)
for line in file:
re.search("pattern1" OR "pattern2" OR ..,line)
and the result should be {pattern1:match, pattern2:match...}
Also should I be using regex at all here ?
If every line of the file is of the form name=value, then regexps are
indeed not needed. You could do something like that.
params = {}
for line in file:
name, value = line.strip().split('=', 2)
params[name] = value
(untested)
I might add before you stumble upon the consequences:
params[name.rstrip()] = value.lstrip()
Cheers,
