 If you are using Identity v2.0 API (DEPRECATED), create an auth plugin using
 the appropriate parameters and `keystoneauth1.identity` will handle Identity

 Now you can call various methods on the client instance.
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-    >>> network = {'name': 'mynetwork', 'admin_state_up': True}
-    >>> neutron.create_network({'network':network})
-    >>> networks = neutron.list_networks(name='mynetwork')

+    neutron.create_network({'network':network})
+    networks = neutron.list_networks(name='mynetwork')
+    print networks
+    network_id = networks['networks'][0]['id']
+    neutron.delete_network(network_id)
 
 Alternatively, you can create a client instance using an auth token
 and a service endpoint URL directly.
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-    >>> from neutronclient.v2_0 import client
-    >>> neutron = client.Client(endpoint_url='http://192.168.206.130:9696/',
-    ...                         token='d3f9226f27774f338019aa2611112ef6')
+    from neutronclient.v2_0 import client
+    neutron = client.Client(endpoint_url='http://192.168.206.130:9696/',
+                            token='d3f9226f27774f338019aa2611112ef6')
 
 You can get ``X-Openstack-Request-Id`` as ``request_ids`` from the result.
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-    >>> network = {'name': 'mynetwork', 'admin_state_up': True}
-    >>> neutron.create_network({'network':network})

+    neutron.create_network({'network':network})
+    networks = neutron.list_networks(name='mynetwork')
+    print networks.request_ids
