    re question

    Python'ites

    I searched around "google" to find the answer to this question, but I
    can't:

    I have a named regexp : x = re.compile("(?P <me>[a-z]+)")

    What I want is an iterator, that can return me both the "groupname"
    and the matched string, e.g:

    m = x.search("aa")

    Somehow, I want to get
    {"me" : "aa"}, either as dictionary or some iterable form.


    All I found is, I need to know the "groupname" to get the
    corresponding match. Any help is appreciated.

      Got It. re.search() has a function groupdict(), doing precisely that.

          Just to be pedantic so that no one else who might read this does not
          get confused, re.search() does not "[have] a function groupdict()".
          re.search(), like many function in the re module returns a match
          object. Match objects have a groupdict() method.
