Object path for list of partitions in python SDK

I put that into a separate answer for anybody's convenience because formatting in comments sucks. Maybe this will be useful for someone else, too...

Going with the sys/folder resource in order to address this now. However, there are some differences between a system folder and a partition:

1. The system folder "/" does not map to any partition
2. When polling the system folders via iControl REST, separate folders for iApps are given back, which do not map to any partition. Confusingly, those iApp-folders are not listed when running "tmsh list sys folders" on the machine directly.

You can see what I mean when comparing

  curl -sk -u admin:xxxxxxxxx https://my-lb/mgmt/tm/sys/folder | python -mjson.tool | grep name
 "name": "/",
 "name": "Common",
 "name": "backup2.app",        <--- !
 "name": "backup_scf.app",     <--- !
 "name": "PA995-LBSS-Test",
 "name": "PA997-Test1",
 "name": "PA998-Test2",
 "name": "PA999-Test1",

to

(/)(tmos) list sys folder | grep folder
sys folder / {
sys folder Common {
sys folder PA995-LBSS-Test {
sys folder PA997-Test1 {
sys folder PA998-Test2 {
sys folder PA999-Test1 {

and

(/)(tmos) list auth partition | grep partition
auth partition Common {
auth partition PA995-LBSS-Test {
auth partition PA997-Test1 {
auth partition PA998-Test2 { }
auth partition PA999-Test1 {

Putting all of this together, this is basically how to get a list of partitions using the python SDK (at least it works out for me):

>>> list_of_partitions = []
>>> for folder in session.sys.folders.get_collection():
...     if not folder.name == "/" and not folder.name.endswith(".app"):
...         list_of_partitions.append(folder.name)
...
>>> print list_of_partitions
[u'Common', u'PA995-LBSS-Test', u'PA997-Test1', u'PA998-Test2', u'PA999-Test1']
