Create a dict of the properties you are interested in, for example,

  filters = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}

and then pass it as the value of the 'filters' argument to the 'list' call:

  image_list_generator = glance.list(filters=filters)

You can have both "regular" and custom image properties as keys in the
filters dict.

I don't think there's a way to do this, actually.  I'm pretty sure it's
not supported by the Images API.
