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 v3.5.1. This release includes a small bug / fix improvement which allows HTTP retrying code to also retry failed “raw” requests. In addition to that, it also includes improvement in the GCE compute driver to retrieve some resources lazily on demand instead of inside the driver constructor. Changelog can be found at < https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3-5-1 >. Download The release can be downloaded from <https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html> or installed using pip: pip install "apache-libcloud==3.5.1" Upgrading If you have installed Libcloud using pip you can also use it to upgrade it: pip install --upgrade "apache-libcloud==3.5.1" Note on Python 3.5 support Libcloud v3.5.0 dropped support for Python 3.5. Python 3.5 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year now and a lot of libraries (including some we depend on) have already dropped support for it. Last release which still supports Python 3.5 is Libcloud v3.4.1. Note on code style change (developers only) To make formating and styling in our code base more consistent, we have re-formatted all the code with black (https://github.com/psf/black) and we will automatically enforce black code style (https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for all the new code going forward. This should make it easier to contribute and read the code since all the code will be using the same style.
