Not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve, but this may be it:

boto.ec2.get_only_instances()

The returned Instance objects will have some informative properties, like:

  • platform – Platform of the instance (e.g. Windows)
  • kernel – The kernel associated with the instance.
  • architecture – The architecture of the image (i386|x86_64).
  • product_codes – A list of product codes associated with this instance.
