Hi!<br><br>The library is accessible at <a href="https://github.com/aababilov/python-openstackclient-base">https://github.com/aababilov/python-openstackclient-base</a>. I have update it so it doesn't require monkey patch for nova and keystone clients anymore.<br>
<br>I'm familiar with <a href="https://github.com/openstack/python-openstackclient" target="_blank">python-openstackclient</a>, and it will be an awesome tool. But it is a console client, and I am talking about an API client library. This library can be used by python-{nova,keystone,glance}client that are used, in their turn, by <a href="https://github.com/openstack/python-openstackclient" target="_blank">python-openstackclient</a>, horizon, etc.<br>
<br>I used modified code from glance that does chunking manually. It's worth to mention that glance client can be simpler - it should not deal with chunkes anymore. Requred changes for glanceclient are accessible here: <a href="https://github.com/aababilov/python-glanceclient/commit/7b04a1672a4ba09281ea107c47a8b20d9a0c62bb">https://github.com/aababilov/python-glanceclient/commit/7b04a1672a4ba09281ea107c47a8b20d9a0c62bb</a>.<br>
<br>openstack-common seems to be a stub for a server and there is no client code, isn't it?<br><br>Sincerely<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 8:14 PM, Monty Taylor <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mordred@inaugust.com" target="_blank">mordred@inaugust.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>There are two projects already in work focused on various aspects of<br>
this. openstack-common is the place that we put code that should be<br>
shared between the clients. python-openstackclient is a project that<br>
aims at a single consistent interface.<br>
<br>
I'm thrilled that you have done some work in this area, but it would be<br>
great if you could do this in the context of the two fairly official<br>
projects that already exist.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
