Thanks for the tip. I didn't know it was possible to use arrays to
hold more than one value. Actually, it's a better solution, as
key/value tuples in a dictionary aren't used in the order in which
they're put in the dictionary, while arrays are.

For those interested:

========
response = ">dummy</td>bla>good stuff</td>"
for name, pattern in patterns:
	m = pattern.search(response)
	if m:
		print m.group(1)
		break
	else:
		print "here"
========

Thanks guys.
