[Python] Libcloud is Standard Client Library For Many Popular Cloud Providers
libcloud is a pure python client library for interacting with many of the popular cloud server providers. It was created to make it easy for developers to build products that work between any of the services that it supports.
libcloud was originally created by the folks over at Cloudkick, but has since grown into an independent free software project licensed under the Apache License (2.0).
The below image shows the current support matrix.
