python-cyborgclient is a python bindings to the OpenStack Cyborg API. There's
a command-line interface via the OpenStack client plugin. The client
implements the OpenStack Cyborg v2 API.

See the `OpenStack CLI Reference`_ for information on how to use the OpenStack
client with the accelerator plugin. You may also want to look at the
`OpenStack API documentation`_.

Command-line API
----------------

Installing this package gets you a plugin for the ``openstack`` command-line
tool that you can use to interact with the OpenStack Cyborg API.

You'll need to provide your OpenStack username and password. You can do this
with the ``--os-username``, ``--os-password`` and  ``--os-project-name``
params, but it's easier to just set them as environment variables::

    export OS_USERNAME=openstack
    export OS_PASSWORD=yadayada
    export OS_PROJECT_NAME=myproject

You will also need to define the authentication url with ``--os-auth-url``.
If you are using Keystone, you need to set the ``OS_AUTH_URL`` to the keystone
endpoint::

    export OS_AUTH_URL=http://controller:5000/v3

Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you
can specify the one you want with ``--os-region-name`` (or
``export OS_REGION_NAME``). It defaults to the first in the list returned.

You'll find complete documentation on the accelerator commands by running
``openstack accelerator --help``


Python API
----------

The Python API is provided through the OpenStack SDK.
