When you are granting or revoking roles, you need to know what the role assignments are. Also, the return dict for role_assignments is exceptionally hard to query, so turn it in to a structure that makes some sanity. Note that role assignments don't lend themselves to use our list/search/get standard very well. Assignments are not unique (an assignment has neither a name nor an ID). Searching is supported via the filter push-down to the keystone client itself.

Introduction
shade is a simple client library for operating OpenStack clouds. The key word here is simple. Clouds can do many many many things - but there are probably only about 10 of them that most people care about with any regularity. If you want to do complicated things, you should probably use the lower level client libraries - or even the REST API directly. However, if what you want is to be able to write an application that talks to clouds no matter what crazy choices the deployer has made in an attempt to be more hipster than their self-entitled narcissist peers, then shade is for you.
shade started its life as some code inside of ansible. ansible has a bunch of different OpenStack related modules, and there was a ton of duplicated code. Eventually, between refactoring that duplication into an internal library, and adding logic and features that the OpenStack Infra team had developed to run client applications at scale, it turned out that we'd written nine-tenths of what we'd need to have a standalone library.
Example
Sometimes an example is nice. :
import shade
# Initialize and turn on debug logging
shade.simple_logging(debug=True)
# Initialize cloud
# Cloud configs are read with os-client-config
cloud = shade.openstack_cloud(cloud='mordred')
# Upload an image to the cloud
image = cloud.create_image(
'ubuntu-trusty', filename='ubuntu-trusty.qcow2', wait=True)
# Find a flavor with at least 512M of RAM
flavor = cloud.get_flavor_by_ram(512)
# Boot a server, wait for it to boot, and then do whatever is needed
# to get a public ip for it.
cloud.create_server(
'my-server', image=image, flavor=flavor, wait=True, auto_ip=True)
