Client API library for the Fujitsu Global Cloud Platform (FGCP)
===============================================================
using XML-RPC API Version 2011-01-31

Using this library
------------------
If you already have access to the Fujitsu Global Cloud Platform (FGCP), have a look at the demo script::

	**Usage:** fgcp_demo.py [pem_file] [region]

If not, register on one of the Service Portals from the list below. Afterwards, you can access your resources
via command-line scripts, web interfaces etc. as you prefer.

.. code:: python

	# Connect with your client certificate to region 'uk'
	from fgcp.resource import FGCPVDataCenter
	vdc = FGCPVDataCenter('client.pem', 'uk')

	# Do typical resource actions
	vsystem = vdc.get_vsystem('Python API Demo System')
	vsystem.show_status()
	for vserver in vsystem.vservers:
		result = vserver.backup(wait=True)
	...

Note: this client API library provides higher-level Client Methods, intermediate Resource Actions and lower-level API Commands.

Requirements
------------
This module uses gdata.tlslite.utils to create the key signature, see http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/ for download and installation

Note: to convert your .p12 or .pfx client certificate to unencrypted PEM format, you can use the following 'openssl' command::

	openssl pkcs12 -in UserCert.p12 -out client.pem -nodes
