Hi, If you want to get a human readable list of all the supported providers, you can do something like this:
from libcloud.compute.types import Provider names = [n for n in Provider.__dict__ if type(Provider.__dict__[n]) == int] ['IBM', 'SOFTLAYER', 'EC2_EU_WEST', 'ELASTICHOSTS', 'BRIGHTBOX', 'BLUEBOX', 'EC2_AP_SOUTHEAST', 'EC2_US_EAST', 'ELASTICHOSTS_UK2', 'ELASTICHOSTS_UK1', 'VPSNET', 'VOXEL', 'RACKSPACE', 'ELASTICHOSTS_US1', 'RIMUHOSTING', 'LINODE', 'OPENNEBULA', 'NIMBUS', 'GOGRID', 'DREAMHOST', 'ECP', 'GANDI', 'DUMMY', 'EC2_US_WEST_OREGON', 'EC2_US_WEST', 'TERREMARK', 'SERVERLOVE', 'NINEFOLD', 'CLOUDSIGMA_US', 'RACKSPACE_UK', 'EC2_AP_NORTHEAST', 'CLOUDSTACK', 'EC2', 'VCLOUD', 'EC2_SA_EAST', 'OPSOURCE', 'EUCALYPTUS', 'EC2_EU', 'SKALICLOUD', 'SLICEHOST', 'CLOUDSIGMA', 'OPENSTACK'] On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 6:17 PM, Alex Brandt <[email protected]> wrote: > ** > > Hello Everyone, > > > > I was looking for a way to list the providers in a human convertable > format and found that everything in libcloud.compute.types looks like an > enum.
