Check if a variable is SRE_Match

Question

I need to check if a variable is a regular expression match object.

print(type(m)) returns something like that: <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x000

Answer 1

Pile-on, since there's a whole bunch of ways to solve the problem:

def is_match_obj(m):
    t = type(m)
    return (t.__module__, t.__name__) == ('_sre', 'SRE_Match')
