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 Storyboard, where bugs can be filed. The code is hosted on OpenStack git repository. Patches must be submitted using Gerrit, not git repo pull requests.

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

Setup the client from source

  • Clone repository for python-searchlightclient:

    $ git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/python-searchlightclient.git
    $ cd python-searchlightclient
  • Setup a virtualenv

$ 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
  • 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/'
$ openstack

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()
[...]

Testing

There are multiple test targets that can be run to validate the code.

  • tox -e pep8 - style guidelines enforcement

  • tox -e py36 - traditional unit testing with python 3.6

  • tox -e py37 - traditional unit testing with python 3.7
