Example output from command-line tool:
(.nova-venv)termie@preciousroy:p/nova/easy_api % ./bin/stack
usage: stack [options] <controller> <method> [arg1=value arg2=value]
`stack help` should output the list of available controllers
`stack <controller>` should output the available methods for that controller
`stack help <controller>` should do the same
`stack help <controller> <method>` should output info for a method
./bin/stack:
-?,--[no]help: show this help
--[no]helpshort: show usage only for this module
--[no]helpxml: like --help, but generates XML output
--host: Direct API host

The Choose Your Own Adventure README for Nova: You have come across a cloud computing fabric controller. It has identified itself as "Nova." It is apparent that it maintains compatibility with the popular Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs. To monitor it from a distance: follow @novacc on twitter To tame it for use in your own cloud: read http://nova.openstack.org/getting.started.html To study its anatomy: read http://nova.openstack.org/architecture.html To dissect it in detail: visit http://code.launchpad.net/nova To taunt it with its weaknesses: use http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova To watch it: http://hudson.openstack.org To hack at it: read HACKING To laugh at its PEP8 problems: http://hudson.openstack.org/job/nova-pep8/violations To cry over its pylint problems: http://hudson.openstack.org/job/nova-pylint/violations
