Hi, Konstantin,

Thank you for sharing ideas. Your "yet-one-more implementation of
fuel-client" one more time confirms that currently we have completely
unusable implementation.

Just for your information: we have plans for python-fuelclient
refactoring [1]. The main point of this blueprint is to provide
fuelclient which will be useful as both: library and cli. Please, do
not hesitate share your ideas in blueprint or in the working ehterpad
[2].

- Igor
