Put the results into a dictionary (untested code follows!):
l = [ (re1, 'bar'),
(re2, 'foo'),
(re3, 'baz'),
]
results = {}
for (regexp, key) in l:
m = re.search(regexp, data)
if m:
results[key] = m.group(1)
Now you can access the results as results['foo'], etc. Or look up the
Borg pattern in the ASPN cookbook and you can access the results as
results.foo, etc.
