The script to install the git versions of the libraries wasn't working because it wasn't installing over top of the versions already installed by pip. So by adding an uninstall first, we ensure that the git version is actually installed. Also, add a pbr freeze to the end so that we can verify, and some +x so that we can see the output of our scripts. And: novaclient 8.0 doesn't have these calls anymore. However, the tests we had on legacy clouds were erroneously installing the wrong version of novaclient so we did not catch it. Doh. This has to do the tests and the calls in the same patch because the fix to the gate job to install the correct verison of the library exposed the fact that we had be broken for these for a few minutes.

Introduction
shade is a simple client library for interacting with OpenStack clouds. The key word here is simple. Clouds can do many many many things - but there are probably only about 10 of them that most people care about with any regularity. If you want to do complicated things, you should probably use the lower level client libraries - or even the REST API directly. However, if what you want is to be able to write an application that talks to clouds no matter what crazy choices the deployer has made in an attempt to be more hipster than their self-entitled narcissist peers, then shade is for you.
shade started its life as some code inside of ansible. ansible has a bunch of different OpenStack related modules, and there was a ton of duplicated code. Eventually, between refactoring that duplication into an internal library, and adding logic and features that the OpenStack Infra team had developed to run client applications at scale, it turned out that we'd written nine-tenths of what we'd need to have a standalone library.
Example
Sometimes an example is nice. :
import shade
# Initialize and turn on debug logging
shade.simple_logging(debug=True)
# Initialize cloud
# Cloud configs are read with os-client-config
cloud = shade.openstack_cloud(cloud='mordred')
# Upload an image to the cloud
image = cloud.create_image(
'ubuntu-trusty', filename='ubuntu-trusty.qcow2', wait=True)
# Find a flavor with at least 512M of RAM
flavor = cloud.get_flavor_by_ram(512)
# Boot a server, wait for it to boot, and then do whatever is needed
# to get a public ip for it.
cloud.create_server(
'my-server', image=image, flavor=flavor, wait=True, auto_ip=True)
