os-traits
===============

A library containing standardized trait strings.

Traits are strings that represent a feature of some resource provider.  This
library contains the catalog of constants that have been standardized in the
OpenStack community to refer to a particular hardware, virtualization, storage,
network, or device trait.

Usage
------

`os-traits` is primarily composed of a set of constants that may be referenced
by simply importing the os_traits module and referencing one of the module's
traits constants::

    $ python
    Python 2.7.11+ (default, Apr 17 2016, 14:00:29)
    [GCC 5.3.1 20160413] on linux2
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import os_traits as ot
    >>> print ot.HW_CPU_X86_SSE42
    HW_CPU_X86_SSE42

You can get a list of the os_traits symbols by simply doing a dir(os_traits).

Want to see the trait strings for a subset of traits? There's a method for that too::

    >>> pprint.pprint(ot.get_traits(ot.NAMESPACES['X86']))
