l.c.d.l.LinodeResponse(Response) : class documentation

Linode API response

Wraps the HTTP response returned by the Linode API, which should be JSON in
this structure:

   {
     "ERRORARRAY": [ ... ],
     "DATA": [ ... ],
     "ACTION": " ... "
   }

libcloud does not take advantage of batching, so a response will always
reflect the above format.  A few weird quirks are caught here as well.

Method	__init__	`Instantiate a LinodeResponse from the HTTP response`
Method	parse_body	`Parse the body of the response into JSON objects`
Method	success	`Check the response for success`
Method	_make_excp	`Convert an API error to a LinodeException instance`

def __init__(self, response): (source)

Instantiate a LinodeResponse from the HTTP response

@keyword response: The raw response returned by urllib
@return: parsed L{LinodeResponse}

def parse_body(self): (source)

Parse the body of the response into JSON objects

If the response chokes the parser, action and data will be returned as
None and errorarray will indicate an invalid JSON exception.

@return: C{list} of objects and C{list} of errors

def success(self): (source)

Check the response for success

The way we determine success is by the presence of an error in
ERRORARRAY.  If one is there, we assume the whole request failed.

@return: C{bool} indicating a successful request

def _make_excp(self, error): (source)

Convert an API error to a LinodeException instance

@keyword error: JSON object containing C{ERRORCODE} and C{ERRORMESSAGE}
@type error: dict
