Python bindings to the OpenStack Nova API

This is a client for OpenStack Nova API. There's a Python API <api> (the novaclient module), and a command-line script <shell> (installed as nova). Each implements the entire OpenStack Nova API.

You'll need an OpenStack Nova account, which you can get by using nova-manage.

You may want to read Rackspace's API guide (PDF) -- the first bit, at least -- to get an idea of the concepts. Rackspace is doing the cloud hosting thing a bit differently from Amazon, and if you get the concepts this library should make more sense.
