Hey @JessicaS11! Nice to see you here. This is a going to be a great first-time contribution!

I know that it is more work but I think it would be more beneficial to have this information formated nicely than simply returning some lists. Maybe similar to a pandas dataframe?

One approach might be to add a nice __str__, __repr__, (or even _repr_html_) to the BackendEntrypoint class. That way printing a list (or better a dict) of the engine-specific subclasses would automatically look decent. Something roughly like

```python class BackendEntryPoint: ...

def __str__(self) -> str:
    txt += self.backend_description
    if self.backend_url:
        txt += f"\nFind more info at {self.backend_url}"
    return txt

```

What might be clearer is if this backend class knew it's own name, but I'm not sure it can, hmmm
