Well i dont think there is some direct function in sympy doing this.
I would go for this.
suppose  expr = 1 + x*y + x**2 * y**2 + x**k * y**m .....
expr1 = expr.subs(x,y)
This would substitute all x's with y and ull now get a polynomial in y.
expr1.args
would return you  (1,y**2,y**4,y**k+m)
degree(expr1.args[..])
would return you the exponent.
I think you can sort it out from here and build a best code that suits your
requirement.
