An cctbx.xray.structure object has a method called space_group() I believe.
Check out this example:
http://phenix-online.org/cctbx_sources/cctbx/cctbx/examples/space_group_matrices.py

( $CCTBX_DIST/cctbx/examples/space_group_matrices.py )

to get an idea where things are.

You can also try other examples in that directory and of course
libtbx.help cctbx.sgtbx.space_group

gives you some clue of what might be where.
