Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among multiple cloud provider APIs. It allows users to manage cloud services (servers, storage, load balancers, DNS, containers as a service) offered by many different providers through a single, unified and easy to use API.
We are happy to announce Libcloud v2.8.0 which includes various new features. Highlights include: * Distribution now includes "py.typed" file which signals mypy that this package contains type annotations (currently only for the base compute API). * Fix wheel metadata. There was a bug where conditional dependencies were not specified correctly so it would try to install "typing" and "enum34" dependency on Python versions where there is not needed. * Fix "get_driver()" bug / regression not working if the "provider" argument was a string and not a Provider ENUM. The plan was for v2.7.0 to be the last major release before v3.0.0 which drops support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4, but this has changed since v2.7.0 introduced some small regressions / bugs which needed to be fixed If no major issues are found in this release, this will be the last release before v3.0.0 which drops support for those Python versions.
