        self._attr_name = attr_name
        self.set(value)
    def __call__(self, value):
        return self.set(value)
    def set(self, value):
        setattr(self, self._attr_name, value)
        return value
    def get(self):
        return getattr(self, self._attr_name)

string = u'test bar 123'
save_match = DataHolder(attr_name='match')
if save_match(re.search('foo (\d+)', string)):
    print "Foo"
    print save_match.match.group(1)
elif save_match(re.search('bar (\d+)', string)):
    print "Bar"
    print save_match.match.group(1)
elif save_match(re.search('baz (\d+)', string)):
    print "Baz"
    print save_match.match.group(1)
