Python bindings to the OpenStack Manila API
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
This is a client for the OpenStack Manila API. There's a Python API (the
|
|
``manilaclient`` module), and a command-line script (``manila``). Each
|
|
implements 100% of the OpenStack Manila API.
|
|
|
|
See the `OpenStack CLI guide`_ for information on how to use the ``manila``
|
|
command-line tool. You may also want to look at the
|
|
`OpenStack API documentation`_.

|
|
|
The project is hosted on `Launchpad`_, where bugs can be filed. The code is
|
|
hosted on `Github`_. Patches must be submitted using `Gerrit`_, *not* Github
|
|
pull requests.

This code is a fork of `Cinderclient`_ of Grizzly release and then it was
|
|
developed separately. Cinderclient code is a fork of
|
|
`Jacobian's python-cloudservers`__ If you need API support for the Rackspace
|
|
API solely or the BSD license, you should use that repository.
|
|
python-manilaclient is licensed under the Apache License like the rest of
|
|
OpenStack.

Command-line API
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Installing this package gets you a shell command, ``manila``, 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=foouser
|
|
export OS_PASSWORD=barpass
|
|
export OS_TENANT_NAME=fooproject
|
|
|
|
You will also need to define the authentication url either with param
|
|
``--os-auth-url`` or as an environment variable::
|
|
|
|
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:5000/v2.0/
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
``manila help``, see ``manila help COMMAND`` for help on a specific command.
|
|
|
|
Python API
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
There's also a complete Python API, but it has not yet been documented.
|
|
|
|
Quick-start using keystone::
|
|
|
|
# use v2.0 auth with http://example.com:5000/v2.0/")
|
|
>>> from manilaclient.v1 import client
|
|
>>> nt = client.Client(USER, PASS, TENANT, AUTH_URL, service_type="share")
|
|
>>> nt.shares.list()
|
|
