You can do this by first loading the virtual server, then the profiles, like this:

 

 

>>> vip = b.tm.ltm.virtuals.virtual.load(name='testvip')
>>> profiles = vip.profiles_s.get_collection()

 

Then you can check the number of profiles with len, and then print out their names:

 

 

>>> len(profiles)
4
>>> for profile in profiles:
...     print profile.name
...
