While it's there

https://docs.python.org/dev/library/re.html#re.regex.groupindex

my personal search algorithm for this category of questions is mostly "I saw 
something like that before", then dir(some_obj) to find the candidates, then 
try the candidates in order of likelihood. If that fails use the source.

While you learn things you weren't looking for the disadvantage of that 
approach is that you sometimes miss the "obvious, first hit given by the 
search engine" answer.
