Python language bindings for OpenStack Clouds.
Project description
Python SDK for OpenStack/Rackspace APIs
Note: Please submit an issue before submitting a pull request so we can determine whether or not the change may be accepted. Pyrax is in the process of being deprecated in favor of the OpenStack SDK. We will announce the process and timelines for this deprecation as soon as we can.
See the LICENSE file for license and copyright information.
pyrax should work with most OpenStack-based cloud deployments, though it specifically targets the Rackspace public cloud. For example, the code for cloudfiles contains the ability to publish your content on Rackspace’s CDN network, even though CDN support is not part of OpenStack Swift. But if you don’t use any of the CDN-related code, your app will work fine on any standard Swift deployment.

If you would like to work with the current development state of pyrax, you can install directly from trunk on GitHub:
pip install git+git://github.com/rackspace/pyrax.git
If you are not using virtualenv, you will need to run pip install as admin using sudo.
You may also download and install from source. The source code for pyrax is available on GitHub.
Once you have the source code, cd to the base directory of the source and run (using sudo, if necessary):
python setup.py install
