# make a file called auth.json that has the following:

{
    "auth": {
        "RAX-KSKEY:apiKeyCredentials": {
            "username": "",
            "apiKey": ""
        }
    }
}

# then another .py file with the following:
import json
import requests

json_header = {'Content-Type':'application/json'}
id_url = 'https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/tokens'
data = json.dumps(json.loads(open('auth.json', 'r').read()))
req = requests.post(id_url, data=data, headers=json_header)
token = req.json()['access']['token']['id']
tenantid = req.json()['access']['user']['roles'][1]['tenantId']

dc_urls = [endpoint['publicURL'] for endpoint in req.json()['access']['serviceCatalog'][6]['endpoints']]

auth_header = {'X-Auth-Token': token}

for dc in dc_urls:
    servers_url = dc + "/servers"
    req = requests.get(servers_url, headers=auth_header)
    if len(req.json()['servers']) > 0:
        print "%s has %d servers:" % (dc[8:11], len(req.json()['servers']))
        for i in req.json()['servers']:
            print '  ', i['name']
