Open Stack

This seems like a good idea but I have a question. I have used the 
python API from novaclient extensively as well as the cli. You are 
talking about testing the cli I think. At the Boston OpenStack meetup 
tonight I heard that novaclient was not intended to be a Python library 
for nova but was a cli that happened to be implemented in Nova. Is that 
something every one but me knew? Are there no Python bindings the 
community intends to support?
