The below code will probably give you more of what you are looking for.  It will print the Group Layer and the map layer.

Ex:  Townships of PA\Delaware County

'Townships of PA' is the Group Layer, and 'Delaware County' is the Map Layer.import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy import mapping

env.workspace = r"C:\TEMP\PYTHON"

mxd = mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\TEMP\PYTHON\Airports.mxd")

dfs = mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)

list = []

for df in dfs:
    lyrs = mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "", df)
    for lyr in lyrs:
        list.append(lyr.longName)

for s in list:
    if "\" in s:
        print s

del mxd

Thanks, that works. I suggest to rename this property to isInsideGroupLayer :confused:

Is there a way to findout what the name of the grouplayer is?
