Authentication issue with London cloud account when using Pyrax module

The Python pyrax module is a Rackspace library that integrates various python modules like  python-novaclient to allow a user to use Openstack API with Rackspace cloud. An introduction how to start with it can be found here: pyrax – Python Bindings for the Rackspace Cloud

A simple script that lists currently existed cloud server is below. For more examples and API documentation please refer to the github directories:

https://github.com/rackspace/pyrax/tree/master/docs
https://github.com/rackspace/pyrax/tree/master/samples

	import os
	import pyrax
	conf = os.path.expanduser("rackspace_cloud_credentials.txt")
	#pyrax.set_credential_file(conf, "LON")
	pyrax.set_credential_file(conf)
	cs = pyrax.cloudservers
	servers = cs.servers.list()
	print ("cloud server under your account:")
	for pos, srv in enumerate(servers):
	print "%s: %s" % (pos, srv.name)

Problem

By default an execution of the script generate this error:

 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\radoslaw\workspace\api-challenge\challange1.py", line 6, in <module>
    pyrax.set_credential_file(conf)
  File "c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyrax\__init__.py", line 215, in set_credential_file
    authenticate=authenticate)
  File "c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyrax\rax_identity.py", line 108, in set_credential_file
    self.authenticate()
  File "c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyrax\rax_identity.py", line 138, in authenticate
    raise exc.AuthenticationFailed("Incorrect/unauthorized "
pyrax.exceptions.AuthenticationFailed: Incorrect/unauthorized credentials received

By default the function pyrax.set_credential_file(conf)  assumes your cloud account belongs to the USA. For it to work you need to specify the LONDON region like in the commented code above.

pyrax.set_credential_file(conf, "LON")
