It's not "extra verbiage", you print the whole sg object, and the author of the SecurityGroup class has chosen one way to convert SecurityGroup instances into strings, the one that he deems most useful, probably for debugging purposes. But you are only interested in some attributes of the sg object. Instead of print sg you should only print print sg.foo, sg.bar foo and bar are fictitious attribute names, but you can find candiates for these attributes with print dir(sg) which will print the actual names. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
