Maybe the .groupindex in the object that you get when you compile the
regex. Found it with dir(pat), help(pat) was not so helpful. Haven't
looked for other documentation.
>>> pat = re.compile(r'...(?P<foo>xxx)...(?P<bar>yyy)...')
>>> pat.groups
2
>>> pat.groupindex
{'bar': 2, 'foo': 1}
>>> pat.pattern
'...(?P<foo>xxx)...(?P<bar>yyy)...'
