Open Stack

Hi everyone,

We have moved the swift.common.client library and bin/swift CLI to its
own dedicated project called python-swiftclient available in github
here  :

https://github.com/openstack/python-swiftclient

it should be totally compatible with the previous swift and the only
change needed if you were using it before in scripts, tools or others
will be to change the import from :

import swift.common.client

to

import swiftclient

the swift CLI has also moved there now.

Glance and devstack should be updated now to use swiftclient[1].

Documentation (i.e: manuals) has not been updated yet and we are
hoping packagers will pick this up pretty soon.

Regards,
Chmouel.

[1] horizon is still using python-cloudfiles and didn't use
swift.common.client before.
