[Bug 1197745] Re: Rackspace authentication no longer supported

[James Page]

Marking this as won't fix for 13.04; the rackspace support was moved out
into a separate component which has not been packaged AFAICT.

** Changed in: python-novaclient (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

Title:
  Rackspace authentication no longer supported

Status in python-novaclient package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I have my rackspace credentials sourced in my local environment, and
  nova can no longer authenticate against the rackspace cloud.

  $ nova --debug list
  DEBUG (shell:768) 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'authenticate'
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/novaclient/shell.py", line 765, in main
      OpenStackComputeShell().main(map(strutils.safe_decode, sys.argv[1:]))
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/novaclient/shell.py", line 695, in main
      self.cs.authenticate()

      auth_url = self._plugin_auth(auth_url)

      self.auth_plugin.authenticate(self, auth_url)
  AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'authenticate'
  ERROR: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'authenticate'

  There is a new plugin infrastructure for authenticating against non-
  standard openstack clouds, but the rackspace compat code is gone from
  the main python-novaclient codebase and the 'pyrax' project seems not
  to be packaged for ubuntu.
