def read_in_chunks(iterator, chunk_size=None, fill_size=False): (source)

Return a generator which yields data in chunks.

Parameters	response	An object which implements an iterator interface or a File like object with read method.
	chunk_size	Optional chunk size (defaults to CHUNK_SIZE) (type: `int`)
	fill_size	If True, make sure chunks are chunk_size in length (except for last chunk). (type: `bool`)

def exhaust_iterator(iterator): (source)

Exhaust an iterator and return all data returned by it.

@type iterator: C{Iterator}
@param response: An object which implements an iterator interface
                 or a File like object with read method.

@rtype C{str}
@return Data returned by the iterator.

def str2dicts(data): (source)

Create a list of dictionaries from a whitespace and newline delimited text.

For example, this: cpu 1100 ram 640

cpu 2200 ram 1024

becomes: [{'cpu': '1100', 'ram': '640'}, {'cpu': '2200', 'ram': '1024'}]

def str2list(data): (source)

Create a list of values from a whitespace and newline delimited text (keys are ignored).

For example, this: ip 1.2.3.4 ip 1.2.3.5 ip 1.2.3.6

becomes: ['1.2.3.4', '1.2.3.5', '1.2.3.6']

def dict2str(data): (source)

Create a string with a whitespace and newline delimited text from a dictionary.

For example, this: {'cpu': '1100', 'ram': '640', 'smp': 'auto'}

becomes: cpu 1100 ram 640 smp auto

cpu 2200 ram 1024

def get_driver(drivers, provider): (source)

Get a driver.

Parameters	drivers	Dictionary containing valid providers.
	provider	Id of provider to get driver (type: `libcloud.types.Provider`)

def merge_valid_keys(params, valid_keys, extra): (source)

Merge valid keys from extra into params dictionary and return dictionary with keys which have been merged.

Note: params is modified in place.

def get_new_obj(obj, klass, attributes): (source)

Pass attributes from the existing object 'obj' and attributes dictionary to a 'klass' constructor. Attributes from 'attributes' dictionary are only passed to the constructor if they are not None.
