How do I connect to an existing CloudSearch domain in boto?

Question

I'm just starting to work with boto to connect to Amazon CloudSearch.

I got the examples working, but I can't find any examples of connecting to an existing domain, all the examples create a new domain.

Poking around, I found get_domain, but that fails if I call it on the connection object.

>>> conn.get_domain('foo')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'Layer2' object has no attribute 'get_domain'

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

[edit] I started from this: http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/cloudsearch_tut.html

So, all I'm doing this

import boto
conn = boto.connect_cloudsearch()

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