re question

I searched around "google" to find the answer to this question, but I
can't:

I have a named regexp : x = re.compile("(?P<me>[a-z]+)")

What I want is an iterator, that can return me both the "groupname"
and the matched string,  e.g:

m = x.search("aa")

Somehow, I want to get
{"me" : "aa"}, either as dictionary or some iterable form.


All I found is, I need to know the "groupname" to get the
corresponding match. Any help is appreciated.
