Python bindings to the OpenStack Nova API
==================================================
This is a client for the OpenStack Nova API. There's a Python API (the
``novaclient`` module), and a command-line script (``nova``). Each
implements 100% of the OpenStack Nova API.
[PENDING] `Full documentation is available`__.
__ http://packages.python.org/python-novaclient/
You'll also probably want to read `OpenStack Compute Developer Guide API`__ --
the first bit, at least -- to get an idea of the concepts. Rackspace is doing
the cloud hosting thing a bit differently from Amazon, and if you get the
concepts this library should make more sense.
__ http://docs.openstack.org/api/
The project is hosted on `Launchpad`_, where bugs can be filed. The code is
hosted on `Github`_. Patches must be submitted using `Gerrit`_, *not* Github
pull requests.
.. _Github: https://github.com/openstack/python-novaclient
.. _Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/python-novaclient
.. _Gerrit: http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow
This code a fork of `Jacobian's python-cloudservers`__ If you need API support
for the Rackspace API solely or the BSD license, you should use that repository.
python-client is licensed under the Apache License like the rest of OpenStack.

Command-line API
----------------
Installing this package gets you a shell command, ``nova``, that you
can use to interact with any Rackspace compatible API (including OpenStack).
You'll need to provide your OpenStack username and password. You can do this
with the ``--os_username``, ``--os_password`` and ``--os_tenant_name``
params, but it's easier to just set them as environment variables::
export OS_USERNAME=openstack
export OS_PASSWORD=yadayada
export OS_TENANT_NAME=myproject
You will also need to define the authentication url with ``--os_auth_url``
and the version of the API with ``--version``. Or set them as an environment
variables as well::
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:8774/v1.1/
export NOVA_VERSION=1.1
If you are using Keystone, you need to set the NOVA_URL to the keystone
endpoint::
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:5000/v2.0/
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you
can specify the one you want with ``--os_region_name`` (or
``export OS_REGION_NAME``). It defaults to the first in the list returned.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
``nova help``::
usage: nova [--debug] [--os_username OS_USERNAME] [--os_password OS_PASSWORD]
[--os_tenant_name OS_TENANT_NAME] [--os_auth_url OS_AUTH_URL]
[--os_region_name OS_REGION_NAME] [--service_type SERVICE_TYPE]
[--service_name SERVICE_NAME] [--endpoint_type ENDPOINT_TYPE]
[--version VERSION] [--username USERNAME]
[--region_name REGION_NAME] [--apikey APIKEY]
[--projectid PROJECTID] [--url URL]

Python API
----------
[PENDING] There's also a `complete Python API`__.
__ http://packages.python.org/python-novaclient/
By way of a quick-start::
>>> import novaclient
>>> nt = novaclient.OpenStack(USERNAME, PASSWORD, PROJECT_ID [, AUTH_URL])
>>> nt.flavors.list()
[...]
>>> nt.servers.list()
[...]
>>> s = nt.servers.create(image=2, flavor=1, name='myserver')
... time passes ...
>>> s.reboot()
... time passes ...
>>> s.delete()
Quick-start using keystone::
# use v2.0 auth with http://example.com:5000/v2.0/")
>>> from novaclient.v1_1 import client
>>> nt = client.Client(USER, PASS, TENANT, AUTH_URL)
>>> nt.flavors.list()
[...]
>>> nt.servers.list()
[...]
>>> nt.keypairs.list()
[...]
What's new?
-----------
[PENDING] See `the release notes <http://packages.python.org/python-novaclient/releases.html>`_.
