As Stefano mentioned, now I’m testing the *openstack* driver instead of *rackspace* driver, but I’m getting the same error using networking API's:

libcloud.common.exceptions.BaseHTTPError: 404 Not Found 404 Not Found
The resource could not be found.


So, what I noticed is that even using openstack or rackspace driver, the problem is in the same file, same line, same request:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libcloud/compute/drivers/openstack.py", line 1769, in ex_list_security_groups
    self.connection.request('/os-security-groups').object)


As you can see the request uses '/os-security-groups' and in the RAX documentation[1] the networking requests uses '/security-groups’ that’s why libcloud fails, both drivers use the same request: self.connection.request('/os-security-groups').object)

This is the way I use to connect to RAX with the openstack driver

provider_name = Provider.OPENSTACK

provider = get_driver(provider_name)
conn = provider(auth_username, api_key,
	ex_force_auth_url='https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/tokens',
	ex_force_auth_version='2.0_apikey',
	ex_force_service_name='cloudServersOpenStack',
	ex_force_service_region=region_name)



Suggestions?
