Not sure if this is what you are after, but get_caller_identity returns UserId and Accountid:

UserId (string) The unique identifier of the calling entity. The exact value depends on the type of entity that is making the call. The values returned are those listed in the aws:userid column in the Principal table found on the Policy Variables reference page in the IAM User Guide .

Account (string) The AWS account ID number of the account that owns or contains the calling entity.

Arn (string) The AWS ARN associated with the calling entity.

Example output is (from docs):

'Account': '123456789012',
'Arn': 'arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/Alice',
'UserId': 'AKIAI44QH8DHBEXAMPLE'
