Code review comment for lp:~citrix-openstack/nova/xenapi-glance-2

In the absence of any Glance CLI tools, I threw this together:

#!/usr/bin/python2.6

import sys

from glance.client import Client

hostname = sys.argv[1]
name = sys.argv[2]
typ = sys.argv[3]
filename = sys.argv[4]

c = Client(hostname, 9292)

meta = {'name': name,
        'type': typ,
        'is_public': True,
        }

with open(filename) as f:
    new_meta = c.add_image(meta, f)

print 'Stored image. Got identifier: %s' % new_meta

The third argument should be "image", "ramdisk", or "kernel". You can then use the image identifiers on the euca-run-instances command line, just as you would if you'd used euca-register.
