HPE LeftHand/StoreVirtual REST Client
===================
This is a Client library that can talk to the HPE LeftHand/StoreVirtual Storage array.
The HPE LeftHand storage array has a REST web service interface.
This client library implements a simple interface to talk with that REST
interface using the python Requests http library.
This is the new location for the rebranded HP LeftHand/StoreVirtual REST Client and
will be where all future releases are made. It was previously located on PyPi at:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hplefthandclient
The GitHub repository for the old HP LeftHand/StoreVirtual REST Client is located at:
https://github.com/hpe-storage/python-lefthandclient/tree/1.x
The HP LeftHand/StoreVirtual REST Client (hplefthandclient) is now considered deprecated.
