How do I get a list of models to use over XML-RPC?

Question

I have found some examples using model = 'res.partner' but I want to work with other models. I tried res.product but that didn't work. How can I get a list of usable models?

1. sudo pip install -U  erppeek [1]

2. erppeek  --server=https://example.com -d your_db -u admin -p password

3. your_db >>> models()

The *ir.model* model contains a list of every model, and the /name /field contains the name, such as

*res.partner* - customers, suppliers, employees, etc
*product.product *- products
*purchase.order* - orders for things you purchase
*sale.order* - orders for things you sell
There are several hundred, all depending on which modules are installed, so the list is unique to every Odoo database.
