Yes, that's all good documentation to follow.

The signature for add_gateway_to_router looks like this:

   def add_gateway_to_router(self, router, **body):

the ** indicate that it's looking for the body as keyword arguments. 
Change your code to:

   conn.network.add_gateway_to_router(onap_router, **network_dict_body)

and it should work.

You could also, should you feel like it, do:

   conn.network.add_gateway_to_router(
       onap_router,
       external_fixed_ips=[{'subnet_id' : public_subnet.id}],
       network_id=public_network.id
   )

which is basically what the ** in **network_dict_body is doing.

I'm not sure yet what's causing this - it's the same issue you're having 
below with flavors - I'm looking in to it.

Do you have tracebacks for the exception?

There is an underlying bug/deficiency in the code that's next on my list 
to fix, but I'm waiting to land a patch to keystoneauth first. For now, 
add identity_api_version=3 to your openstack.connect line and it should 
work.

Also - sorry about that - that's a terrible experience and is definitely 
not the way it should/will work.

Same thing - not sure what's up yet , do you have a traceback?

That is correct. Image methods are all on the image proxy (and we should 
actually get rid of that compute.find_image() method before we release a 
1.0) ... HOWEVER ...

I *highly* recommend using the shade layer for image creation, because 
image creation is exceptionally complicated and all the logic to deal 
with it is there. We haven't finished combining them, but it'll work for 
you in its current form.

https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/latest/user/connection.html#openstack.connection.Connection.create_image

You'll need to download the image file locally - as of right now there 
is not support for directly importing from a url on the glance side. 
Once you do:

   conn.create_image(
       'Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus',
       filename='xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img')

should do the trick - although you might have to add a parameter or two.


I'll keep looking in to the other two errors and see what I can find, 
but hopefully this will help you for now.
