* Use recursive generator function to make subsequent requests to the v1 detailed images resource * 'limit' continues to act as the absolute limit of images to return from a list call * 'page_size' indicates how many images to ask for in each subsequent pagination request * Expose --page-size through the cli * Convert v1 images tests to use strict url comparison * Drop strict_url_check from FakeAPI kwargs - now the functionality is always active and tests must directly match fixture urls * Fix bug 1024614 Change-Id: Ifa7874d88360e03b5c8aa95bfb9d5e6dc6dc927e
Python bindings to the OpenStack Image API
This is a client library for Glance built on the OpenStack Images
API. It provides a Python API (the glanceclient module) and
a command-line tool (glance). This library fully supports
the the v1 Images API, with support for the v2 API in progress.
Development takes place via the usual OpenStack processes as outlined in the OpenStack wiki. The master repository is on GitHub.
Python API
In order to use the python api directly, you must first obtain an auth token and identify which endpoint you wish to speak to. Once you have done so, you can use the API like so:
>>> from glanceclient import Client
>>> glance = Client('1', endpoint=OS_IMAGE_ENDPOINT, token=OS_AUTH_TOKEN)
>>> image = glance.images.create(name="My Test Image")
>>> print image.status
'queued'
>>> image.update(data=open('/tmp/myimage.iso', 'rb'))
>>> print image.status
'active'
>>> with open('/tmp/copyimage.iso', 'wb') as f:
for chunk in image.data:
f.write(chunk)
>>> image.delete()Command-line Tool ----------------In order to use the CLI, you must
provide your OpenStack username, password, tenant, and auth endpoint.
Use the corresponding configuration options (--os-username,
--os-password, --os-tenant-id, and
--os-auth-url) or set them in environment variables:
export OS_USERNAME=user
export OS_PASSWORD=pass
export OS_TENANT_ID=b363706f891f48019483f8bd6503c54b
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://auth.example.com:5000/v2.0The command line tool will attempt to reauthenticate using your
provided credentials for every request. You can override this behavior
by manually supplying an auth token using --os-image-url
and --os-auth-token. You can alternatively set these
environment variables:
export OS_IMAGE_URL=http://glance.example.org:9292/
export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155Once you've configured your authentication parameters, you can run
glance help to see a complete listing of available
commands.
