Use a common pattern to handle option pairs --XYZ and --no-XYZ for managing
lists of attributes. This pattern looks at the presence of the option
in parsed_args first and branches as necessary.
Some specific steps are included for the SDK Network resources to reliably
set the 'dirty' flag for changed attributes via one or both of the following:
* iterate over lists of original resource attributes to force the creation
of a new list object
* use [].extend() rather than += to add to the existing list (substitute
{}.update() for dicts)

OpenStackClient
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Block Storage APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip:
pip install python-openstackclientThere are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options
and supported commands is shown with --help:
openstack --helpThere is also a help command that can be used to get
help text for a specific command:
openstack help
openstack help server createIf you want to make changes to the OpenStackClient for testing and contribution, make any changes and then run:
python setup.py developor:
pip install -e .Configuration
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line options as listed in http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-auth-url <url>
--os-project-name <project-name>
--os-username <username>
[--os-password <password>]If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.
Authentication may also be performed using an already-acquired token and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired from the Service Catalog:
export OS_TOKEN=<token>
export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-token <token>
--os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
