Service-based clients - traditional clients

Every core OpenStack service has an associated command-line client. Like the OpenStack services, the command-line clients are written in the Python programming language (available at http://github.com/openstack). The clients also contain the service API bindings for developing Python code that can talk directly to a specific service without requiring long-winded API requests. For years, the most popular clients used by OpenStack administrators were the following:

• python-keystoneclient
• python-glanceclient
• python-neutronclient
• python-novaclient
• python-cinderclient
• python-swiftclint
• python-heatclient
