Description: =================================================
         occi-py - OCCI Client/Server Library for Python
        =================================================
        
        :Version: 0.6
        
        Synopsis
        ========
        
        `occy-py` is a generic library implementation of the Open Cloud Computing
        Interface.
        
        The Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) comprises a set of open
        community-lead specifications delivered through the Open Grid Forum. OCCI is a
        Protocol and API for all kinds of Management tasks. See http://occi-wg.org/.
        
        The `occi-py` library is a complete implementation of the OCCI specification
        and supports version 1.1 of the OCCI RESTful Protocol.
        
        The aim of `occi-py` is to provide a high-level interface for easy integration
        of the OCCI Standard Protocol into both new and existing applications.
        
        Features
        ========
        
         - Easy to use. Implement the 5 required ServerBackend methods and you are
           ready to go.
        
         - Pluggable HTTP server front-end. A `Tornado` front-end is included.
        
         - Focused on robustness and standard compliance.
        
         - Supports all Content Types defined by the OCCI HTTP Rendering specification
           and all of the OCCI Infrastructure Kind/Mixin definitions.
        
         - Easy to extend with custom Entity types as outlined in the OCCI Core specification.
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        You can install `occi-py` either via the Python Package Index (PyPI)
        or from source.
        
        To install using `pip`::
        
            $ pip install occi
        
        To install using `easy_install`::
        
            $ easy_install occi
        
        If you have downloaded a source tarball you can install it
        by doing the following,::
        
            $ python setup.py build
            # python setup.py install # as root
        
        OCCI Server
        ===========
        
        To enable OCCI server support in your application you must implement the
        `occi.server.ServerBackend` class. See the stub method documentation for
        further information.
        
        IaaS Demo
        ---------
        
        A demo implementation of the OCCI Infrastructure specification is provided by
        `occi_iaas_demo.py` script. The demo uses the `Tornado` front-end and thus
        requires the `Tornado` framework to be installed.
        
        To start the demo install `occi-py` and run::
        
            $ occi_iaas_demo.py
        
        You will then have an OCCI server listening to port 8000 on localhost. To use a
        different base URL specify the --base_url option, e.g.::
        
            $ occi_iaas_demo.py --base_url http://www.example.com:8000/api/
        
        OCCI Client
        ===========
        
        *soon*
        
        Status
        ======
        
        The `occi-py` library is fairly stable but it is still under development and
        subject to internal API changes.
        
        A `Redis` backend is in the works and will provide a better example on how to
        use the library in real applications.
