osc_placement

✓ import osc_placement

✗ from osc_placement import plugin

There is no direct API; the module is auto-discovered by openstackclient as a plugin.

After installing osc-placement and configuring OpenStack credentials (OS_AUTH_URL, OS_USERNAME, OS_PASSWORD, OS_PROJECT_NAME), run the openstack client with placement commands.

Known issues

gotchaosc-placement is a plugin and does not provide a Python API; it only extends the openstack CLI. Do not attempt to import its internals.

fix

Use openstack CLI commands or the openstacksdk Python library for programmatic access.

affects: all

breakingThe placement API microversion may need to be specified for certain commands; default behavior might change between OpenStack releases.

fix

Check the OpenStack Placement documentation for the required microversion for your installation and use the --os-placement-api-version flag if needed.

affects: >=4.0.0

deprecatedSome older placement CLI subcommands were removed in favor of unified resource provider commands.

fix

Migrate from commands like 'openstack allocation candidate list' to 'openstack resource provider inventory list' or similar.

affects: >=4.0.0
