Python SDK for OpenStack/Rackspace APIs

DEPRECATED: Pyrax is no longer being developed or supported. See openstacksdk and the rackspacesdk plugin in order to interact with Rackspace's OpenStack-based public cloud.

See the LICENSE file for license and copyright information.

pyrax should work with most OpenStack-based cloud deployments, though it specifically targets the Rackspace public cloud. For example, the code for cloudfiles contains the ability to publish your content on Rackspace's CDN network, even though CDN support is not part of OpenStack Swift. But if you don't use any of the CDN-related code, your app will work fine on any standard Swift deployment.

See the Release Notes for what has changed in the latest release
