Bases: object

Top-level object to access the OpenStack Compute API.

Create an instance with your creds:

>>> client = Client(USERNAME, PASSWORD, PROJECT_ID, AUTH_URL)

Then call methods on its managers:

>>> client.servers.list()
...
>>> client.flavors.list()
...

authenticate()

Authenticate against the server.

Normally this is called automatically when you first access the API, but you can call this method to force authentication right now.

Returns on success; raises exceptions.Unauthorized if the credentials are wrong.
