There's currently a new effort going on right now to reimagine all of those separate per-service tools into one complete SDK (libraries, CLIs, docs, examples, etc in one place), but it's early in the process. https://github.com/stackforge/python-openstacksdk and https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/PythonOpenStackSDK have some details, and we're actively meeting on Tuesdays at 1900, and hang out in the #openstack-sdks room. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
