Pyramid get route name by URL (String)

I am trying to figure out if its possible to get a route name in Pyramid by the URL (not the Request) URL but a string URL. So lets say I have a request and the path is /admin/users/manage. I know you can match the route name to get the route_name of the request but how can I get the route name of /admin and the route name of /admin/users? 

introspector.get('routes', 'admin')

works to get the route path of the admin route but is it possible to work the other way around? 

introspector.get('routes', 'admin/users')

Basically is there a way to get the route_objects of all routes under the admin/ prefix? Introspector looked like I could loop thru ALL routes but not query all the specific routes within within a path.

I had to dig into the pyramid source code to get this solution.

Also, just to clarify: This solution will provide you with the correct route_name for the supplied route_url.

If I have my_route as the route name and /foo/bar as the url, I set the following my_url variable to "/foo/bar" and it returns "my_route"

from pyramid.interfaces import IRoutesMapper

@view_config(...)
def call_route_by_url(request):
    routes = request.registry.queryUtility(IRoutesMapper).get_routes()
    my_url = '/your/url/here'
    for r in routes:
        if r.path == my_url:
            # do something with r.name <-- that is your route_name
            pass
