get to named url pattern from request.path

hello,
in a contextprocessor i am writing, i would like to use the
"named
url" of the current view instead of request.path.

I toyd with django.core.urlresolvers.resolve() but that just
returns
the function configured in urls.py and not the name it was
configured
with

to give an example: my urls.py contains this pattern

urlpatterns += patterns('mcc.log.status',
    url(r'ftpqueue/$', 'ftpqueue', name='mcc-ftpqueue'),
)


in my contextprocessor, request.path is '/ftpqueue/'
now I want to get to the name: 'mcc-ftpqueue'

how to do that?
thanks for any insight you might have

There's not built in way to do this.

If you really wanted to do this in an automated way, you
would need to
write something like the current URL resolving code that ran
through the
patterns until it found a match (following include() calls
as well) and
then returned the pattern name. Not impossible and you could
probably
follow the code in urlresolvers.py initially, but not
something that
you'll get just by calling a single function in core().
