This is an expanded version of "Resolve URLs to view name" without the monkey-patching.

Simply pass in a URL such as '/events/rsvp/some_conference/' and you'll get back the view name or function (if name isn't available) and the arguments to it, eg 'events_rsvp', [], {'event_slug':'some_conference'}.

Example (blatantly copied from previous snippet): 

=== urlconf ====
urlpatterns = patterns(''
    (r'/some/url', 'app.views.view'),
    url(r'/some/other/(?P<url>\w+)', 'app.views.other.view', name='this_is_a_named_view'),
    url(r'/yet/another/(?P<url>\w+)/(\d+)', 'app.views.yetanother.view', name='one_with_args'),
)

=== example usage in interpreter ===
>>> from some.where import resolve_to_name
>>> print resolve_to_name('/some/url')
('app.views.view',[],{})
>>> print resolve_to_name('/some/other/url')
('this_is_a_named_view',[],{'url':'url'})
>>> print resolve_to_name('/yet/another/url/5')
('one_with_args',[5],{'url':'url'})
