novaclient的api调用流程与开发

从nova client的入口查看

cat /usr/bin/nova

cat /usr/bin/nova

# PBR Generated from 'console_scripts'

import sys

from novaclient.shell import main

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main())

其中导入了novaclient.shell这个文件中导入了main方法，进入novaclient.shell.py查看

def main():
    try:
        OpenStackComputeShell().main(map(strutils.safe_decode, sys.argv[1:]))

    except Exception as e:
        logger.debug(e, exc_info=1)
        print("ERROR: %s" % strutils.safe_encode(six.text_type(e)),
              file=sys.stderr)
        sys.exit(1)

OpenStackComputeShell.main()
        self.cs = client.Client(options.os_compute_api_version, os_username,
                os_password, os_tenant_name, tenant_id=os_tenant_id,
                auth_url=os_auth_url, insecure=insecure,
                region_name=os_region_name, endpoint_type=endpoint_type,
                extensions=self.extensions, service_type=service_type,
                service_name=service_name, auth_system=os_auth_system,
                auth_plugin=auth_plugin,
                volume_service_name=volume_service_name,
                timings=args.timings, bypass_url=bypass_url,
                os_cache=os_cache, http_log_debug=options.debug,
                cacert=cacert, timeout=timeout)

self.cs是从client中创建出的一个Client实例，进入novaclient.client.py查看这个实例的具体方法

def get_client_class(version):
    version_map = {
        '1.1': 'novaclient.v1_1.client.Client',
        '2': 'novaclient.v1_1.client.Client',
        '3': 'novaclient.v3.client.Client',
    }
    try:
        client_path = version_map[str(version)]
    except (KeyError, ValueError):
        msg = "Invalid client versio
