Transition From OpenStackclient
===============================

This library was extracted from the main OSC repo after the OSC 2.4.0 release.
The following are the changes to imports that will cover the majority of
transition to using osc-lib:

* openstackclient.api.api -> osc_lib.api.api
* openstackclient.api.auth -> osc_lib.api.auth
* openstackclient.api.utils -> osc_lib.api.utils
* openstackclient.common.command -> osc_lib.command.command
* openstackclient.common.commandmanager -> osc_lib.command.commandmanager
* openstackclient.common.exceptions -> osc_lib.exceptions
* openstackclient.common.logs -> osc_lib.logs
* openstackclient.common.parseractions -> osc_lib.cli.parseractions
* openstackclient.common.session -> osc_lib.session
* openstackclient.common.utils -> osc_lib.utils
* openstackclient.i18n -> osc_lib.i18n
* openstackclient.shell -> osc_lib.shell

Also, some of the test fixtures and modules may be used:

* openstackclient.tests.fakes -> osc_lib.tests.fakes
* openstackclient.tests.utils -> osc_lib.tests.utils
