The extensibility of keystoneauth plugins is purposefully designed to allow a
|
||||
range of different authentication mechanisms that don't have to reside in the
|
||||
upstream packages. There are however a number of plugins that upstream supports
|
||||
that involve additional dependencies that the keystoneauth package cannot
|
||||
depend upon directly.
|
||||
|
||||
To get around this we utilize setuptools `extras dependencies <https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#declaring-extras-optional-features-with-their-own-dependencies>`_ for additional
|
||||
plugins. To use a plugin like the kerberos plugin that has additional
|
||||
dependencies you must install the additional dependencies like::
|
||||
|
||||
pip install keystoneauth1[kerberos]
|
||||
|
||||
By convention (not a requirement) extra plugins have a module located in the
|
||||
keystoneauth1.extras module with the same name as the dependency. eg::
|
||||
|
||||
$ from keystoneauth1.extras import kerberos
|
||||
|
||||
There is no keystoneauth specific check that the correct dependencies are
|
||||
installed for accessing a module. You would expect to see standard python
|
||||
ImportError when the required dependencies are not found.
