This works great for the shell script. I don’t care about the zone, I just need to iterate over all the instances in a project. However, it seems that with the library/API approach, zone is _not_ optional[1]. This would leave me with the very bad position of having to get a list of all zones (that’s doable), iterating over each zone looking for instances.</div><div id="m_-3405265412886266397bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0);margin:0px;line-height:auto"><br></div><div id="m_-3405265412886266397bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0);margin:0px;line-height:auto">The python API so far looks to me like a bit of a second class pile of nonsense that probably (very) loosely wraps around something else.
