interface_list() function doesn't work

[Jonghan]

Openstack Version : python-novaclient-2.23.0-1.el7.noarch
OS : CentOS 7.0
Reproduce steps:
 1. Create VM using python SDK
 2. Call interface_list()

When I try to get VM's interface list using python SDK, interface_list() function returns abnormal result.

In my opinion, _list() function in novaclient/base.py#Manager checks the return value if its type is dictionary, but actually its type is list.

seems nova don't have function 'interface_list' ?

[Jonghan (forhim-park)]

interface_list() function is not a part of nova. It's on the novaclient/v2/servers.py.

[Jonghan (forhim-park)]

This is the sample code to test this bug.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import novaclient.v2.client as nvclient

def get_nova_credentials() :
    d = {}
    d['username'] = os.environ['OS_USERNAME']
    d['api_key'] = os.environ['OS_PASSWORD']
    d['auth_url'] = os.environ['OS_AUTH_URL'] + "/v2.0"
    d['project_id'] = os.environ['OS_TENANT_NAME']
    return d

nova = nvclient.Client(**get_nova_credentials())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    instances = nova.servers.list()
    for instance in instances:
        interface_list = instance.interface_list()
        print interface_list

And the result is like this :
[<Server: unknown-name>]

Note to others trying to reproduce this: interface_list() is only available with Neutron.

@Jonghan, What is the problem you're seeing? The return value is a list of interfaces, and you should be able to access for example port_id, net_id on the returned objects.

@melanie
You're right. I investigate this issue more detail and find that it is not a "bug". I changed the status to invalid.
