[Tutor] Match on current line and next line. Possible?

Hello! How can I instruct Python to match on the current line and the
next line?


Assumptions;
- We are reading in one line at a time


BROKEN EXAMPLE (discussion)
######################
file = open('/somefile','r').readlines()
for line in file:
        match_one = re.search('^Python', line)
        match_two = re.search('^\tBLAH', line)
        if match_one and nextline == match_two: 
               do_something()


Maybe this just isn't possible, since we are working line by line. 

Any suggestions? 


Tom
