python-cinderclient 9.6.0

Description:

pythoncinderclient 9.6.0

Python bindings to the OpenStack Cinder API



This is a client for the OpenStack Cinder API. There’s a Python API (the
cinderclient module), and a command-line script (cinder). Each
implements 100% of the OpenStack Cinder API.
See the OpenStack CLI Reference for information on how to use the cinder
command-line tool. You may also want to look at the
OpenStack API documentation.
The project is hosted on Launchpad, where bugs can be filed. The code is
hosted on OpenStack. Patches must be submitted using Gerrit.

Command-line API
Installing this package gets you a shell command, cinder, that you
can use to interact with any Rackspace compatible API (including OpenStack).
You’ll need to provide your OpenStack username and password. You can do this
with the --os-username, --os-password and --os-tenant-name
params, but it’s easier to just set them as environment variables:
export OS_USERNAME=openstack
export OS_PASSWORD=yadayada
export OS_TENANT_NAME=myproject
You will also need to define the authentication url with --os-auth-url
and the version of the API with --os-volume-api-version. Or set them as
environment variables as well. Since Block Storage API V2 is officially
deprecated, you are encouraged to set OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=3. If you
are using Keystone, you need to set the OS_AUTH_URL to the keystone
endpoint:
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://controller:5000/v3
export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=3
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you
can specify the one you want with --os-region-name (or
export OS_REGION_NAME). It defaults to the first in the list returned.
You’ll find complete documentation on the shell by running
cinder help:

Python API
There’s also a complete Python API, but it has not yet been documented.
Quick-start using keystone:
# use v3 auth with http://controller:5000/v3
>>> from cinderclient.v3 import client
>>> nt = client.Client(USERNAME, PASSWORD, PROJECT_ID, AUTH_URL)
>>> nt.volumes.list()
[...]
