[Python] python-pptx - Adding the content box in a "Title and Content" slide

I'm using the pptx module to create a PowerPoint "Title and Content" slide.

prs = Presentation()
mySlide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[1])


I can "address" the title with either "title" attribute or the "placeholder[0]" attribute.

# These both work.
titlePlaceholder = mySlide.shapes.title
titlePlaceholder = mySlide.shapes.placeholders[0]


However, the only way I can figure out to "address" the "content box" on the "Title and Content" slide is with the "placeholder[1]" attribute.

contentPlaceholder = mySlide.shapes.placeholders[1]


Is there another way to "address" the content box? Is there something like a "content" attribute?

# I'd like to use something similar to this.
contentPlaceholder = mySlide.shapes.content


Incidentally, my apologies in advance for any typos in my code examples. For corporate reasons, I can't access StackOverflow on the same system I do my Python programming, so I can't cut-and-paste.
