Currently glanceclient doesn't support non-ASCII characters for images
names and properties (names and values as well). This patch introduces 2
functions (utils.py) that will help encoding and decoding strings in a
more "secure" way.
About the ensure_(str|unicode) functions:
They both try to use first the encoding used in stdin (or python's
default encoding if that's None) and fallback to utf-8 if those
encodings fail to decode a given text.
About the changes in glanceclient:
The major change is that all inputs will be decoded and will kept as
such inside the client's functions and will then be encoded before
being printed / sent out the client.
There are other small changes, all related to encoding to str,
around in order to avoid fails during some conversions. i.e: quoting
url encoded parameters.

Python bindings to the OpenStack Images API ============================================= This is a client library for Glance built on the OpenStack Images API. It provides a Python API (the ``glanceclient`` module) and a command-line tool (``glance``). This library fully supports the v1 Images API, while support for the v2 API is in progress. Development takes place via the usual OpenStack processes as outlined in the `OpenStack wiki <http://wiki.openstack.org/HowToContribute>`_. The master repository is on `GitHub <http://github.com/openstack/python-glanceclient>`_. See release notes and more at `<http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-glanceclient/>`_.
