I would do

     for r in re_CONSTRUCT1, re_CONSTRUCT2, re_CONSTRUCT3:
         m = r.match(line)
         if m: handle_construct

or maybe

     actions = {re_CONSTRUCT1: action1, ...}

     def matching(line, *rr):
         for r in rr:
             m = r.match(line)
             if m: yield r; return

     for r in matching(line, *actions.keys()):
         actions[r]()
         break
     else:
         raise NoActionMatched() # or something like that
