OpenStack Indexing and Search API Client Library

This is a client library for Searchlight built on the Searchlight API. It
provides a Python API (the ``searchlightclient`` module) and a command-line
tool (``searchlight``).

The project is hosted on `Launchpad`_, where bugs can be filed. The code is
hosted on `Github`_. Patches must be submitted using `Gerrit`_, *not* Github
pull requests.

.. _Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/python-searchlightclient
.. _Gerrit: http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow

python-searchlightclient is licensed under the Apache License like the rest of
OpenStack.

Install the client from PyPI
----------------------------
The :program:`python-searchlightclient` package is published on `PyPI`_ and
so can be installed using the pip tool, which will manage installing all
python dependencies::

$ pip install python-searchlightclient

.. note::
The packages on PyPI may lag behind the git repo in functionality.

.. _PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-searchlightclient/

Setup the client from source
----------------------------

* Clone repository for python-searchlightclient::

$ git clone https://github.com/openstack/python-searchlightclient.git
$ cd python-searchlightclient

* Setup a virtualenv

.. note::
This is an optional step, but will allow Searchlightclient's dependencies
to be installed in a contained environment that can be easily deleted
if you choose to start over or uninstall Searchlightclient.

::

$ tox -evenv --notest

Activate the virtual environment whenever you want to work in it.
All further commands in this section should be run with the venv active:

::

$ source .tox/venv/bin/activate

.. note::
When ALL steps are complete, deactivate the virtualenv: $ deactivate

* Install Searchlightclient and its dependencies::

(venv) $ python setup.py develop

Command-line API
----------------

Set Keystone environment variables to execute CLI commands against searchlight.

* To execute CLI commands::

$ export OS_USERNAME=<user>
$ export OS_PASSWORD=<password>
$ export OS_TENANT_NAME=<project>
$ export OS_AUTH_URL='http://localhost:5000/v2.0/'

.. note::
With devstack you just need to $ source openrc <user> <project>. And you can
work with a local installation by passing --os-token <TOKEN> and --os-url
http://localhost:9393. You can also set up a `Openstackclient`_ config file
to work with the CLI.

.. _Openstackclient: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/configuration.html#clouds-yaml

$ openstack
(openstack) search resource type list

Python API
----------

To use with keystone as the authentication system::

>>> from keystoneclient.auth.identity import generic
>>> from keystoneclient import session
>>> from searchlightclient import client
>>> auth = generic.Password(auth_url=OS_AUTH_URL, username=OS_USERNAME, password=OS_PASSWORD, tenant_name=OS_TENANT_NAME)
>>> keystone_session = session.Session(auth=auth)
>>> sc = client.Client('1', session=keystone_session)
>>> sc.resource_types.list()
