Rackspace is putting together a unified API library for python called pyrax. Please use that instead.
Wrap the various Rackspace cloud APIs into an easy to use library. This aims to keep the interface as close to the actual REST API as possible. The rscloud methods all operate on, and return the same raw JSON used in the API calls, so the Rackspace documentation can be as a reference for this library.
RSCloud currently covers Rackspace First-gen Servers, Next-gen Servers, and Domains.
NOTE: this is not complete for now, and only implements enough to cover what we're using at Litl.
API Documentation can be found at http://docs.rackspace.com/api/
