does the latest nova / openstackclient work with rackspace?

[kzap]

im trying to use supernova with rackspace but after i upgraded the clients i always get 401's
but rack-cli works fine, thus i cant use novaclient / supernova anymore or openstackclient with rackspace cloud....

cant find any bug reports about this also

There are some bugs somewhere in novaclient and the rackspace-novaclient packages. There's not much I can do within supernova to get around that. I'm looking for a workaround in the clients now.

i was able to get it working again by installing python-novaclient 2.30.2 , any version >= 3.0 causes 401's

first i uninstalled python-novaclient, then installed it at version 2.30.2

pip uninstall python-novaclient
pip install -I python-novaclient==2.30.2

i could not install rackspace-novaclient normally since it kept installing the latest python-novaclient
is it even needed if im using supernova?
i could install rackspace-novaclient by ignoring the dependencies

pip install --no-dependencies rackspace-novaclient

now supernova works again with rackspace

funny thing is the openstackclient still gets 401's,
im wondering what is special about the rackspace authentication that makes it different from regular openstack?

also 2.35 has issues also, so i used 2.30.2 to work both with rackspace and other openstacks

also does supernova use rackspace-novaclient if installed and then python-novaclient next?

This is being addressed in https://github.com/rackerlabs/rackspace-novaclient/issues/22

Note that there is another unrelated reason why latest nova may not work with rackspace ... or rather, will not work until they handle rackerlabs/rackspace-novaclient#23 ...
