Running Glance Under Python3
============================
You should always run Glance under whatever version of Python your
distribution of OpenStack specifies.
If you are building OpenStack yourself from source, Glance is currently
supported to run under Python2 (specifically, Python 2.7 or later).
Some deployment configuration is required if you wish to run Glance
under Python3. Glance is tested with unit and functional tests running
Python 3.5. The eventlet-based server that Glance runs, however, is
currently affected by a bug that prevents SSL handshakes from completing
(see `Bug #1482633 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1482633>`_).
Thus if you wish to run Glance under Python 3.5, you must deploy Glance in
such a way that SSL termination is handled by something like HAProxy before
calls reach Glance.
