Get Instance Images name with the gcloud python api

[Romaric Tavenard]

How can I retrieve the image name of an instance thanks to the gcloud compute engine API in python?

when I list my instances with

compute.instances().list(project=project, zone=zone , filter ='status eq '+ instance_status).execute()

The response doesn't give me the instance image name (debian-9).

thanks in advance
