Python bindings to the OpenStack Nova API
==================================================
This is a client for OpenStack Nova API. There's :doc:`a Python API
<api>` (the :mod:`novaclient` module), and a :doc:`command-line script
<shell>` (installed as :program:`nova`). Each implements the entire
OpenStack Nova API.
You'll need an `OpenStack Nova` account, which you can get by using `nova-manage`.
.. seealso::
You may want to read `Rackspace's API guide`__ (PDF) -- 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.
