Mark McLoughlin 68fe44121e Add specific regexp for timestamps in v2 xml
datetime objects are serialized into xml using simply str() and this
is a slightly different format from ISO8601 in that the date isn't
separated from the time using 'T'.

(However, note that the iso8601 library happily accepts this format)

Add a specific regexp for this format so we can test for it in the
places we know it is used. This also means we can remove the generic
%(timestamp)s regexp.

Note that unlike the isotime and strtime formats, whether this format
includes timezone or microsecond information depends on whether the
datetime object had those fields set. The isotime format always
includes a timezone but not microseconds, whereas the strtime format
never includes a timezone but always includes microseconds.

There are a small number of examples where this format is used in JSON
too - e.g. the instance usage audit log extension pre-serializes its
timestamps by doing:

        return dict(period_beginning=str(begin),
                    period_ending=str(end),

Using a name like 'xmltime' for the timestamp format used in cases
like this actually makes sense - it highlights that the format used
in this case is a weird mistake.

OpenStack Nova README

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.

OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.

Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.

To keep updated with new developments in the OpenStack project follow @openstack on Twitter.

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

http://docs.openstack.org

For information about the different compute (hypervisor) drivers supported by Nova, read this page on the wiki:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova

Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:

https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova

Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:

http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests. Further developer focused documentation is available at:

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst file.
