Upgrading to python-novaclient 2.13 breaks authentication in pyrax about pyrax HOT 8 CLOSED

I just noticed the same thing this morning. It looks like they are ripping out the rackspace workaround and are requiring a 'rackspace' authentication plugin for python-novaclient. I have tried the older rackspace_auth_openstack auth plugin and that doesn't seem to be noticed by python-novaclient.

Yep, they broke auth for Rackspace; I'll have to create a fix for that. I would suggest that in the meantime you run:

pip install -U python-novaclient==2.11.1

to re-install the latest version that works.

Actually, I skipped a version. 2.12.0 also works. So to downgrade:

pip install -U python-novaclient==2.12.0

from pyrax.

I have a fix that seems to be working, I can send a pull request shortly.

Cool - I've been researching the change on the OpenStack lists and coming up empty.

I just pushed v1.3.6, which incorporates Matt's fix for auth.

from pyrax.

I didn't think about it at the time, but we should probably increase the python-novaclient dependency version to 2.13.0 in setup.py

Otherwise 2.10.0 satisfies the dependency, but the new fix is not backwards compatible in the way it was implemented.

from pyrax.

True, but with the >= operator, pip will always install the latest. I'll make the change, though, for the next release.
