python-cyborgclient is a python bindings to the OpenStack Cyborg API. There's
a Python API (the ``cyborgclient`` module), and a command-line script
(``cyborg``). Each implements 100% of the OpenStack Cyborg API.
See the `OpenStack CLI Reference`_ for information on how to use the ``cyborg``
command-line tool. You may also want to look at the
`OpenStack API documentation`_.

.. _OpenStack API documentation: https://developer.openstack.org/api-guide/quick-start/
The project is hosted on `Launchpad`_, where bugs can be filed. The code is
hosted on `OpenStack`_. Patches must be submitted using `Gerrit`_.

Command-line API
----------------
Installing this package gets you a shell command, ``cyborg``, that you
can use to interact with any Rackspace compatible API (including OpenStack).
You'll need to provide your OpenStack username and password. You can do this
with the ``--os-username``, ``--os-password`` and ``--os-tenant-name``
params, but it's easier to just set them as environment variables::
export OS_USERNAME=openstack
export OS_PASSWORD=yadayada
export OS_TENANT_NAME=myproject
You will also need to define the authentication url with ``--os-auth-url``
and the version of the API with ``--os-accelerator-api-version``. Or set them
as environment variables as well, ``OS_ACCELERATOR_API_VERSION=1``. If you
are using Keystone, you need to set the ``OS_AUTH_URL`` to the keystone
endpoint::
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://controller:5000/v3
export OS_ACCELERATOR_API_VERSION=1
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you
can specify the one you want with ``--os-region-name`` (or
``export OS_REGION_NAME``). It defaults to the first in the list returned.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
``cyborg help``
Python API
----------
There's also a complete Python API, but it has not yet been documented.
Quick-start using keystone::
# pass auth plugin and session to Client init.
# service_parameters contains servive_name, service_type, interface and
# region name.
>>> from cyborgclient.v1 import client
>>> nt = client.Client(auth=auth,session=_SESSION,**service_parameters)
>>> nt.accelerators.list()
