Hey, Not to name names, but some of our client libs do this:
client.Client(API_VERSION, os_username, ... ) I'm pretty sure they got the idea from python-glanceclient, so I blame Brian Waldon, since he left us for CoreOS. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS - IT CAUSES BABIES TO CRY. MORE. As a developer, I have no way of knowing what to put here. Also, imagine I'm writing a script that wants to talk to more than one cloud to do things - like, say, nodepool for Infra, or an ansible openstack inventory module. NOW WHAT? What do I put??? How do I discover that? Let me make a suggestion... Default it to something. Make it an optional parameter for experts. THEN - when the client lib talks to keystone, check the service catalog for the API version. What's this you say? Sometimes your service doesn't expose a version in the keystone catalog? PLEASE STOP DOING THIS - IT CAUSES DOLPHINS TO WEEP If you have versioned APIs, put the version in keystone. Because otherwise, as "as a developer" have absolutely zero way to figure it out. Well, except for the algorithm jeblair suggested: "just start with 11 and count backwards until a number works" This message brought to you by frustrated humans trying to use the cloud. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
