The entire project is in Python. Take a look for yourself:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~hudson-openstack/nova/trunk/files
This is the 'nova' trunk; 'nova' is the codebase for
creating/managing/deleting virtual machines. It is based on NASA's Nebula
system for creating tens of thousands of virtual servers quickly to process
their massive amounts of data.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~hudson-openstack/swift/trunk/files
This is the 'swift' trunk; 'swift' is the Rackspace Cloud Files code
that allows data to be stored and retrieved from the cloud, with each files
being stored redundantly to avoid data loss when drives fail. Swift has been in
production at Rackspace for several months now.
I'm working on the nova side of things, after being on the swift team
for several months. The original NASA code was specific to the KVM hypervisor;
we're working on making the code hypervisor-agnostic, as we use XenServer
internally at Rackspace. It's great to have the lead developers at Citrix, the
owner of XenServer, on the project as well.
