The `tempurl` subcommand's second positional argument is called
`seconds` and has heretofore interpreted as the number of seconds for
which the tempURL should be valid, counting from the moment of running
the command. This is indeed a common, if not the most common,
use-case. But some users, occasionally, might want to generate a tempURL
that expires at some particular ("absolute") time, rather than a
particular amount of time relative to the moment of happening to run the
command. (One might make an analogy to the way in which Swift's expiring
object support supports an `X-Delete-At` header in addition to
`X-Delete-After`—and it's the former that must be regarded as
ontologically prior.) Thus, this commit adds an `--absolute` optional
argument to the `tempurl` subcommand; if present, the `seconds` argument
will be interpreted as a Unix timestamp of when the tempURL should be
expire, rather than a duration for which the tempURL should be valid
starting from "now".

Python bindings to the OpenStack Object Storage API
This is a python client for the Swift API. There's a Python API (the
swiftclient module), and a command-line script
(swift).
You can find the documentation online.
Development takes place via the usual OpenStack processes as outlined in the OpenStack wiki. The master repository is on GitHub.
This code is based on original the client previously included with OpenStack's swift The python-swiftclient is licensed under the Apache License like the rest of OpenStack.
