Per: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-August/072982.html The location of subunit2html changed on the images in the gate so update the path used in the post_test_hook. Long-term we should just use what's in devstack-gate. Change-Id: I5e50e7d7ad845aba26403df1df412c0a139a6dc7 Closes-Bug: #1491646 -------------- squashed with: -------------- Don't pass null device when attaching a volume The v2.1 API schema rejects null device values in an os-volume_attachments request, so only include the device in the request if one is specified on the command line. Closes-Bug: #1491325 Change-Id: I4fa4019f19f9af6ff350db2fb6e524fa8570a6f3
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.
See the OpenStack
CLI guide for information on how to use the nova
command-line tool. You may also want to look at the OpenStack API
documentation.
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.
python-novaclient 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 OpenStack cloud.
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=myprojectYou will also need to define the authentication url with
--os-auth-url and the version of the API with
--os-compute-api-version. Or set them as an environment
variables as well:
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:8774/v2/
export OS_COMPUTE_API_VERSION=2If you are using Keystone, you need to set the OS_AUTH_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
Python API
There's also a complete Python API, with documentation linked below.
To use with keystone as the authentication system:
>>> from novaclient import client
>>> nt = client.Client(VERSION, USER, PASSWORD, TENANT, AUTH_URL)
>>> nt.flavors.list()
[...]
>>> nt.servers.list()
[...]
>>> nt.keypairs.list()

Testing
There are multiple test targets that can be run to validate the code.
- tox -e pep8 - style guidelines enforcement
- tox -e py27 - traditional unit testing
- tox -e functional - live functional testing against an existing openstack
Functional testing assumes the existence of a clouds.yaml file as supported by os-client-config (http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config) It assumes the existence of a cloud named devstack that behaves like a normal devstack installation with a demo and an admin user/tenant - or clouds named functional_admin and functional_nonadmin.
