<para>Use the OpenStack Python Software Development Kit (SDK) to
write Python automation scripts that create and manage resources
in your OpenStack cloud. The SDK implements Python bindings to the
OpenStack API, which enables you to perform automation tasks in
Python by making calls on Python objects rather than making REST
calls directly. All OpenStack command-line tools are implemented
using the Python SDK.</para>
