The novaclient.base Module¶

Base utilities to build API operation managers and objects on top of.

class novaclient.base.BootingManagerWithFind(api)¶

Bases: novaclient.base.ManagerWithFind

Like a ManagerWithFind, but has the ability to boot servers.

class novaclient.base.BytesWithMeta(values, resp)¶

Bases: str, novaclient.base.RequestIdMixin

class novaclient.base.DictWithMeta(values, resp)¶

Bases: dict, novaclient.base.RequestIdMixin

class novaclient.base.HookableMixin¶

Bases: object

Mixin so classes can register and run hooks.

classmethod add_hook(hook_type, hook_func)¶

Add a new hook of specified type.

Parameters:	cls – class that registers hooks hook_type – hook type, e.g., ‘__pre_parse_args__’ hook_func – hook function

classmethod run_hooks(hook_type, *args, **kwargs)¶

Run all hooks of specified type.

Parameters:	cls – class that registers hooks hook_type – hook type, e.g., ‘__pre_parse_args__’ args – args to be passed to every hook function kwargs – kwargs to be passed to every hook function

class novaclient.base.ListWithMeta(values, resp)¶

Bases: list, novaclient.base.RequestIdMixin

class novaclient.base.Manager(api)¶

Bases: novaclient.base.HookableMixin

Manager for API service.

Managers interact with a particular type of API (servers, flavors, images, etc.) and provide CRUD operations for them.

alternate_service_type(**kwds)¶

api_version¶

cache_lock = <_RLock owner=None count=0>¶

client¶

completion_cache(**kwds)¶

The completion cache for bash autocompletion.

The completion cache store items that can be used for bash autocompletion, like UUIDs or human-friendly IDs.

A resource listing will clear and repopulate the cache.

A resource create will append to the cache.

Delete is not handled because listings are assumed to be performed often enough to keep the cache reasonably up-to-date.

convert_into_with_meta(item, resp)¶

resource_class = None¶

write_to_completion_cache(cache_type, val)¶

class novaclient.base.ManagerWithFind(api)¶

Bases: novaclient.base.Manager

Like a Manager, but with additional find()/findall() methods.

find(**kwargs)¶

Find a single item with attributes matching **kwargs.

findall(**kwargs)¶

Find all items with attributes matching **kwargs.

list()¶

class novaclient.base.RequestIdMixin¶

Bases: object

Wrapper class to expose x-openstack-request-id to the caller.

append_request_ids(resp)¶

Add request_ids as an attribute to the object

Parameters:	resp – Response object or list of Response objects

request_ids¶

request_ids_setup()¶

class novaclient.base.Resource(manager, info, loaded=False, resp=None)¶

Bases: novaclient.base.RequestIdMixin

Base class for OpenStack resources (tenant, user, etc.).

This is pretty much just a bag for attributes.

Populate and bind to a manager.

Parameters:	manager – BaseManager object info – dictionary representing resource attributes loaded – prevent lazy-loading if set to True resp – Response or list of Response objects

HUMAN_ID = False¶

NAME_ATTR = 'name'¶

api_version¶

get()¶

Support for lazy loading details.

Some clients, such as novaclient have the option to lazy load the details, details which can be loaded with this function.

human_id¶

Human-readable ID which can be used for bash completion.

is_loaded()¶

set_info(key, value)¶

set_loaded(val)¶

to_dict()¶

class novaclient.base.StrWithMeta(values, resp)¶

Bases: str, novaclient.base.RequestIdMixin

class novaclient.base.TupleWithMeta(values, resp)¶

Bases: tuple, novaclient.base.RequestIdMixin

class novaclient.base.UnicodeWithMeta(values, resp)¶

Bases: unicode, novaclient.base.RequestIdMixin

novaclient.base.getid(obj)¶

Get object’s ID or object.

Abstracts the common pattern of allowing both an object or an object’s ID as a parameter when dealing with relationships.
