It reads cloud credentials and settings from multiple sources\u2014configuration files, environment variables, and built-in vendor defaults\u2014and presents them as a unified set of named cloud configurations. This eliminates the need to manually construct credentials or know vendor-specific setup details.\n\nThe package is now superseded by openstacksdk, which the project documentation explicitly recommends for new work. While os-client-config continues to exist and receive updates, it functions primarily as a legacy compatibility layer. It depends on openstacksdk and pbr, and requires Python 3.10 or later.","worth_installing":"No\u2014not for new projects. The package's own documentation explicitly recommends using openstacksdk directly instead. Install only if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on os-client-config and cannot yet migrate. For new OpenStack integrations, use openstacksdk."},"id":"os-client-config","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/os-client-config","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/os-client-config.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/os-client-config/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"os-client-config","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenStack Client Configuation Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":298648,"position":7870,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.0"}
