Thanks for the pointers to the Java code.
So how would you envision adding storage providers to the python
codebase? Would there be a simplecloud directory under the top
libcloud directory, in parallel with the libcloud directory which
contains base.py? So something like:
libcloud/
libcloud/
base.py
providers.py
drivers/
simplecloud/
storage/
base.py
providers.py
drivers/
....and then you would define the base storage classes similarly to
the Java interfaces in simplecloud/storage/base.py, and the actual
implementations in drivers/S3.py.
Would this make sense?
