MatchState

This package provide a idiom:

import re
from typing import Match, Union

from matchstate import MatchState

m = MatchState()  # type: Union[MatchState, Match]

if m.match(re.compile(r'apple'), 'applx'):
    print('apple:', m.group())
elif m.match(r'orange', 'orange'):
    print('orange:', m.group())
else:
    print('No match')

Or you may use the MatchState class directly.
