Open Stack

  Official Title: OpenStack Common Libraries

  Mission Statement:
    To tackle copy-and-paste technical debt in OpenStack by producing a
    set of python libraries containing infrastructure code shared by
    OpenStack projects. The APIs provided by these libraries should be
    high quality, stable, consistent and generally applicable.

But for wholly new code, that sounds like you need to introduce

Oslo :)

Cheers,
Mark.
