Hi,
I have a working branch
(https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-client-library)
of a Python API client library for Quantum.
It's a refactoring of the MiniClient which makes the use of the library
a lot cleaner and simpler. As a small example, tests went from this:
client = Client(HOST, PORT, USE_SSL)
content_type = "application/" + format
body = Serializer().serialize(test_network_data, content_type)
res = client.do_request(TENANT_ID,'POST',"/networks."+format,
body=body)
To:
client = Client(HOST, PORT, USE_SSL, TENANT_ID, format)
res = client.create_network(test_network_data)
All high level API functions such as list_networks, create_network,
list_ports, etc, are represented. The test_scripts/tests.py script is
completely rewritten with the new library, and the quantum/cli.py CLI is
almost finished.
The do_request method is unchanged, so for now at least there is
backward compatibility with the old style of requests.
Data is automatically serialized, however due to some issues with the
JSON deserializer automatic deserialization isn't working yet.
In the next few days I'll be working on getting the
serialization/deserialization working perfectly and getting the
quantum/cli.py CLI completely switched over to the new library. After
that I'll work on figuring out how to best manage data added by plugins.
I would love to get some feedback about things that should be changed,
added, or removed.
Thanks,
-Tyler Smith
