The P in the (?P<group name>) is a special Python requirement to let Python know that a group is to have a name.

Ahh yes that is what I thought.
I use grep based Regex in BBEdit and TextWrangler, and have looked at a little Ruby based Regex through TextMate. I never saw the "?P" thing in any of those flavors of Regex but grep uses local variables for back-references and can be accessed with \1 for the first capture group, Ruby uses $1.
So, the "(?P<group name>)" with the named variable makes the result available to the rest of the program for creating the filename and the metadata for the interface?
