v5.2.0

Highlights

• The async client reuses connections. Use async with AIOCloudStack(...) as cs: and every call shares one HTTP session. You can also pass an existing aiohttp.ClientSession as session=, which is left open. The async client now supports trace, retry and json=False, like the sync client.
• The sync client keeps its connections alive. It used to close its session after every request.
• Retries back off. Retries of list and queryAsync calls wait retry_backoff seconds (default 0.5) before the first attempt. The wait doubles on each further attempt, up to 30 seconds.
• Type hints. The package now ships type hints and a py.typed marker.

Fixes

• Boolean settings read from the environment were not converted, so CLOUDSTACK_TRACE=false and CLOUDSTACK_DANGEROUS_NO_TLS_VERIFY=false were treated as true.
• fetch_list=True no longer loops forever on an empty page.
• Lists of numbers, floats and booleans are now accepted as parameters. Sets are sent in a stable order.
• A response without exactly one top-level key now raises CloudStackException instead of ValueError.
• python -m cs now exits with a non-zero status on errors. Error messages are no longer printed twice.
• The CLI only strips one pair of matching quotes around a value, so name=it's stays intact.
• hasattr(), copy and pickle no longer treat private attribute names as API commands.
• The async client sends the call's headers while polling a job, and no longer fails when a response has no Content-Type header.
• job_timeout is measured with a monotonic clock, so system clock changes don't affect it.

New settings

• retry_backoff / CLOUDSTACK_RETRY_BACKOFF
• job_timeout / CLOUDSTACK_JOB_TIMEOUT can now be set in the config file and the environment. Before, it could only be passed in Python.

Behavior changes

• Booleans are sent as true/false instead of True/False. CloudStack accepts both.
• Headers passed to a single call now override the client's headers for the same name.
• Retries wait before resending. Set retry_backoff=0 to retry immediately as before.
• tzdata is no longer a dependency.
