Amazon query instances script using boto.ec2

My very first Python script hatched into existence today, My Birthday!

This script utilizes the boto.ec2 library.
It runs in 2 seconds.
All my past experience has been outright butchery of the bash environment, and if I did this in bash, it would take 45s'ish and be painful.
Be sure to read this wrt the boto config for profiles: eg: ~/.boto:
Code:
[Credentials]

[profile default]
aws_access_key_id = key 
aws_secret_access_key = secret
ec2_region_name = region

[profile name1]
aws_access_key_id = key 
aws_secret_access_key = secret
ec2_region_name = region

[profile name2]
aws_access_key_id = key 
aws_secret_access_key = secret
ec2_region_name = region
...
et al
Here's the goods: - Updated script on Jun 24th, 2015
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import boto.ec2
import os
from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection
# boto.set_stream_logger('boto')
os.system('clear')

conn = boto.ec2.connect_to_region('us-east-1', profile_name='default')
images = conn.get_all_images(owners='self', filters=None)
snapshots = conn.get_all_snapshots(owner="self")
volumes = conn.get_all_volumes()
reservations = conn.get_all_instances()
sec_groups = conn.get_all_security_groups()
connS3 = S3Connection(profile_name='default')
buckets = connS3.get_all_buckets()

lines = "*" * 12
lines80 = "-" * 80

instances = [i for r in reservations for i in r.instances]
instance_volumes = [v for v in volumes if v.attach_data.instance_id]
groups = [i for g in sec_groups for i in r.instances]

print str(len(instances)) + " Instances:"
print lines
for instance in instances:
    formatter = "%s \t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s"
    print formatter % (instance.tags['Name'], instance.placement, instance.id,
                       instance.ip_address, instance.key_name)

print ""
print str(len(images)) + " Images:"
print lines
for image in images:
    formatter = "%s\t%s"
    print formatter % (image.id, image.name)

print ""
print str(len(volumes)) + " Volumes:"
print lines
for volume in volumes:
        print volume.id

print ""
print str(len(snapshots)) + " Snapshots:"
print lines
for snapshot in snapshots:
        print snapshot.id

print ""
print str(len(groups)) + " SecGroups:"
print lines
for group in sec_groups:
    print group.name

print ""
print str(len(buckets)) + " S3 buckets:"
print lines
for bucket in sorted(buckets):
    print(bucket.name)

    You picked a great way to spend your day =)

    Learning something new keeps life interesting. Congrats on your script and if you ever want to check out Amazon's thoughts on interfacing with AWS (written in python and utilizes boto, too), check here:

    Happy coding, and happy birthday!

    python is the way to go for slick scripting, especially with boto for AWS.

    here is what i did a few years ago:
    https://skaperen.s3.amazonaws.com/list-instances
    https://skaperen.s3.amazonaws.com/list-volumes
    https://skaperen.s3.amazonaws.com/list-s3

    and recently:
    https://skaperen.s3.amazonaws.com/co...to_instance.py
