libcloud.pricing module

A class which handles loading the pricing files.

libcloud.pricing.clear_pricing_data()[source]

Invalidate pricing cache for all the drivers.

Note: This method does the same thing as invalidate_pricing_cache and is here for backward compatibility reasons.

libcloud.pricing.download_pricing_file(file_url='https://libcloud-pricing-data.s3.amazonaws.com/pricing.json', file_path='/home/docs/.libcloud/pricing.json')[source]

Download pricing file from the file_url and save it to file_path.

Parameters

  • file_url (str) – URL pointing to the pricing file.

  • file_path (str) – Path where a download pricing file will be saved.

libcloud.pricing.get_pricing(driver_type, driver_name, pricing_file_path=None, cache_all=False)[source]

Return pricing for the provided driver.

NOTE: This method will also cache data for the requested driver memory.

We intentionally only cache data for the requested driver and not all the pricing data since the whole pricing data is quite large (~2 MB). This way we avoid unncessary memory overhead.

Parameters

  • driver_type (str) – Driver type (‘compute’ or ‘storage’)

  • driver_name (str) – Driver name

  • pricing_file_path (str) – Custom path to a price file. If not provided it uses a default path.

  • cache_all (bool) – True to cache pricing data in memory for all the drivers and not just for the requested one.

Return type

dict

Returns

Dictionary with pricing where a key name is size ID and the value is a price.

libcloud.pricing.get_size_price(driver_type, driver_name, size_id, region=None)[source]

Return price for the provided size.

Parameters

  • driver_type (str) – Driver type (‘compute’ or ‘storage’)

  • driver_name (str) – Driver name

  • size_id (str or int) – Unique size ID (can be an integer or a string - depends on the driver)

Return type

float

Returns

Size price.

libcloud.pricing.set_pricing(driver_type, driver_name, pricing)[source]

Populate the driver pricing dictionary.

Parameters

  • driver_type (str) – Driver type (‘compute’ or ‘storage’)

  • driver_name (str) – Driver name

  • pricing (dict) – Dictionary where a key is a size ID and a value is a price.

libcloud.security module

Security (SSL) Settings

Usage:

import libcloud.security libcloud.security.VERIFY_SSL_CERT = True

# Optional. libcloud.security.CA_CERTS_PATH = ‘/path/to/certfile’

libcloud.enable_debug(fo)[source]

Enable library wide debugging to a file-like object.

Parameters
