You forgot to state your Python version. I'll assume 3.4

You apparently know you want exactly 5 items, and you want them in
order, so you need 5 arguments, in order. If you don't like what
you have, you can pass a list, if you precede it with an
asterisk.
(month, day, time, ap, offset) = blah.group( *list (range (1, 6)))
Should do it.
