>>> srv.get_dbs()
[u'foo', u'bar', u'baz']
>>> srv.get_layouts('foo')
{u'spam': <phylmaker.server.FMLayout foo/spam (fm.example.com)>}
>>> layout = srv.get_layout(db='bar', layout='eggs')
>>> layout
<phylmaker.server.FMLayout bar/eggs (fm.example.com)>
>>> results = layout.find(canhas='*burger').execute()

For everything else, help() and dir() are your friends!
