Bug Description
http://
Currently, under the keypair create class, there is no documentation on how to view/download the private key pair necessary to log into instances.
I recommend showing that there is an private-key option and that the file can be saved using a --private-key <file> option as well otherwise the private key can never be recovered.
newkey = nt.keypairs.
privKey = newkey.private_key

To post a comment you must log in.
It looks like there are two issues here:
1. There's no mention in the Python API docs on how to get the private key that was generated.
2. There's no CLI option for saving the private key to a file.
We'll use this bug to track the former. For the latter, you can just propose a patch that adds the option. At most, you might be requested to create a blueprint for it, for tracking.
