Client for OpenStack services
bac9fb18c1
Refactored the 'os security group set' command to use the SDK when neutron is enabled, but continue to use the nova client when nova network is enabled. This patch set also fixes a compute bug which ignores name and description when set to an empty value. Change-Id: I4225179dca4aedf799e1656ec49236bdedc5e9bd Partial-Bug: #1519511 Implements: blueprint neutron-client |

OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings
the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Block Storage
APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common
language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
===============
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip::
pip install python-openstackclient
There are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options and supported
commands is shown with ``--help``::
openstack --help
There is also a ``help`` command that can be used to get help text for a specific
command::
openstack help
openstack help server create
Configuration
=============
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line
options as listed in http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used::
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)
The corresponding command-line options look very similar::
--os-auth-url <url>
--os-project-name <project-name>
--os-username <username>
[--os-password <password>]
If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively
prompted to provide one securely.
Authentication may also be performed using an already-acquired token
and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired
from the Service Catalog::
export OS_TOKEN=<token>
export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>
The corresponding command-line options look very similar::
--os-token <token>
--os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
