Pymel will help you for sure.
if you have the transform you can use getShape() and it will return a list
of shape nodes underneath.
import pymel.core as pm
theTransform = pm.PyNode("nameOfYourObject")
shapes = theTransform.getChildren()
[nt.Mesh(u'pSphereShape1'), nt.Mesh(u'pSphereShape2')]
you can limit it to polygon shapenodes too with the type="mesh" kwarg.
shapes = theTransform.getChildren(type="mesh")
