Description: shade
        =====
        
        shade is a simple client library for operating OpenStack clouds. The
        key word here is *simple*. Clouds can do many many many things - but there are
        probably only about 10 of them that most people care about with any
        regularity. If you want to do complicated things, you should probably use
        the lower level client libraries - or even the REST API directly. However,
        if what you want is to be able to write an application that talks to clouds
        no matter what crazy choices the deployer has made in an attempt to be
        more hipster than their self-entitled narcissist peers, then shade is for you.
        
        shade started its life as some code inside of ansible. ansible has a bunch
        of different OpenStack related modules, and there was a ton of duplicated
        code. Eventually, between refactoring that duplication into an internal
        library, and adding logic and features that the OpenStack Infra team had
        developed to run client applications at scale, it turned out that we'd written
        nine-tenths of what we'd need to have a standalone library.
        
        example

        Sometimes an example is nice.
        ::
        
          from shade import *
          import time
        
          # Initialize cloud
          # Cloud configs are read with os-client-config
          cloud = openstack_cloud('mordred')
        
          # OpenStackCloud object has an interface exposing OpenStack services methods
          print cloud.list_servers()
          s = cloud.list_servers()[0]
        
          # But you can also access the underlying python-*client objects
          cinder = cloud.cinder_client
          volumes = cinder.volumes.list()
          volume_id = [v for v in volumes if v['status'] == 'available'][0]['id']
          nova = cloud.nova_client
          print nova.volumes.create_server_volume(s['id'], volume_id, None)
          attachments = []
          print volume_id
          while not attachments:
              print "Waiting for attach to finish"
              time.sleep(1)
              attachments = cinder.volumes.get(volume_id).attachments
          print attachments
