Question about introspection

[garnaat]

I can easily find the available service resources give a session:

>>> import boto3.session
>>> session = boto3.session.Session(profile_name='prod')
>>> session.available_resources
['cloudformation',
 'dynamodb',
 'ec2',
 'glacier',
 'iam',
 'opsworks',
 's3',
 'sns',
 'sqs']

But is there a way to find the available resources for a given service resource? I.E. is there some way to get the equivalent of:

>>> ec2 = session.resource('ec2')
>>> ec2.available_resources

I've been going through the code for a while and can't really figure out an easy way to do this.

Unfortunately, there is nothing equivalent to resource.available_resources. I think that this would be helpful. Marking as feature request.

One way you could go about figuring the available resources for now is using the inspect module to figure out the resources members and then look for any member that begins with a capitol letter. Those are usually the resources.

Thanks. I can also find what I'm looking for by accessing the _loader private attribute of the client and then loading the service model but, of course, I shouldn't be mucking around with those private attributes.
