Object-oriented bindings for the Linode API

Chube: Object-oriented bindings for the Linode API
=====

Chube lets you interact with the Linode API using a nice and neat
domain space of objects. Here's an example of a session you could
have with Chube:

you@localhost:~$ chuber
Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 11 2012, 20:14:37)
>>> Linode.search()
[<Linode api_id=13971, label='foo-01'>, <Linode api_id=20401, label='bar-04'>, <Linode api_id=13972, label='foo-02'>]
>>>
>>> nodes = Linode.search(label_begins='foo-')
[<Linode api_id=13971, label='foo-01'>, <Linode api_id=13972, label='foo-02'>]
>>>
>>> for node in nodes:
... print node.ipaddresses[0].address
...
192.168.13.148
192.168.8.218
>>>
>>> plan = Plan.find(label="Linode 1024")
>>> plan
<Plan label='Linode 1024'>
>>> datacenter = Datacenter.find(location_begins="dallas")
>>> datacenter
<Datacenter location='Dallas, TX, USA'>
>>>
>>> new_node = Linode.create(plan=plan, datacenter=datacenter, payment_term=1)
>>> new_node
<Linode api_id=345768, label='linode345768'>
>>> new_node.label = "web-14"
>>> new_node.save()
>>> Linode.find(label="web-14")
<Linode api_id=345768, label='web-14'>
>>>
>>> distro = Distribution.find(label="Debian 7")
>>> disk = new_node.create_disk(distribution=distro, label="foo_disk", size=2000, root_pass="secret123")
>>> new_node.pending_jobs
[<Job api_id=12310126, label='Disk Create From Distribution - Debian 7'>, <Job api_id=12310127, label='Linode Initial Configuration'>]
>>> new_node.pending_jobs[0].wait()
>>>
>>> job = new_node.boot()
>>> job.wait()
>>>
>>> new_node.destroy()

Of course, chube's objects can also be imported into a script with
`from chube import *`.
