OpenStack Django-Nova --------------------- The Django-Nova project is a Django module that is used to provide web based interactions with the OpenStack Nova cloud controller. There is a reference implementation that uses this module located at: http://launchpad.net/openstack-dashboard It is highly recommended that you make use of this reference implementation so that changes you make can be visualized effectively and are consistent. Using this reference implementation as a development environment will greatly simplify development of the django-nova module. Of course, if you are developing your own Django site using django-nova, then you can disregard this advice. Getting Started --------------- Django-Nova uses Buildout (http://www.buildout.org/) to manage local development. To configure your local Buildout environment: $ python bootstrap.py $ bin/buildout This will install all the dependencies of django-nova and provide some useful scripts in the bin/ directory: bin/python provides a python shell for the current buildout. bin/django provides django functions for the current buildout. You should now be able to run unit tests as follows: $ bin/django test
