How to connect to an existing CloudSearch domain in boto

Question

I am trying to connect boto to Amazon CloudSearch.  But I couldn't figure out how to connect to already existing domain. Most of the examples that I have looked into are about connecting to new domain.

Any suggestions as to how I can connect to an existing domain?

You can use conn.list_domains() which will return a list of Domain objects for all of your current domains.  Or you can do conn.lookup('&&&&') which will return a Domain object for the specified domain name. 

Using this sometimes might rise an error of sort:  AttributeError: 'Layer2' object has no attribute 'lookup'. 

In such cases just update boto. It should work correctly then. Hope this helped!
