* Free software: Apache license

tempest-lib is a library of common functionality that was originally in tempest
(or similar in scope to tempest)

**As of the 1.0.0 release tempest-lib as a separate repository and project is
deprecated. The library now exists as part of the tempest project, all future
development will occur there. To use the library for future releases update
your imports from tempest_lib to tempest.lib, and add tempest>=10 to your
project requirements**

Features

Some of the current functionality exposed from the library includes:

* OpenStack python-* client CLI testing framework

                 with calling a test runner that emits subunit
* A unified REST Client
* Utility functions:
  * skip_because: Skip a test because of a bug
  * find_test_caller: Perform stack introspection to find the test caller.
