ABOUT

HOW TO USE

Installation

Install the package through pip:

pip install python-cephclient

Installation does not work ?

python-cephclient depends on lxml which itself depends on some packages. To install lxml’s dependencies on Ubuntu:

apt-get install python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev

Instanciate CephWrapper:

from cephclient.wrapper import *

wrapper = CephWrapper(
    endpoint = 'http://apiserver:5000/api/v0.1/',
    debug = True # Optionally increases the verbosity of the client
)

Do your request and specify the reponse type you are expecting.

Either json, xml, text (default) or binary are available.

json:

response, body = wrapper.get_fsid(body = 'json')
print('Response: {0}, Body:\n{1}'.format(response, json.dumps(body, indent=4, separators=(',', ': '))))

====

Response: <Response [200]>, Body:
{
    "status": "OK",
    "output": {
        "fsid": "d5252e7d-75bc-4083-85ed-fe51fa83f62b"
    }
}

xml:

response, body = wrapper.get_fsid(body = 'xml')
print('Response: {0}, Body:\n{1}'.format(reponse, etree.tostring(body, pretty_print=True)))

====

Response: <Response [200]>, Body:
<response>
  <output>
    <fsid><fsid>d5252e7d-75bc-4083-85ed-fe51fa83f62b</fsid></fsid>
  </output>
  <status>
    OK
  </status>
</response>

text:

response, body = wrapper.get_fsid(body = 'text')
print('Response: {0}, Body:\n{1}'.format(response, body))

====

Response: <Response [200]>, Body:
d5252e7d-75bc-4083-85ed-fe51fa83f62b

binary:

response, body = wrapper.mon_getmap(body = 'binary')
# < Do something binary with 'body' >
