Assuming I understand the question, a quickie shortcut is
just to "print" the object:

<code>
import wmi

c = wmi.WMI ()
for s in c.Win32_ComputerSystem ():
   print s

</code>

but in fact each object also holds a list of its own properties:

<code>
import wmi

c = wmi.WMI ()
print list (c.Win32_ComputerSystem.properties)
print list (c.Win32_ComputerSystem.methods)

or you can do the same with an instance:

for s in c.Win32_ComputerSystem ():
   print list (s.properties)

</code>
