We should definitely push to consolidate common code for clients! We can use either glanceclient or quantumclient as a prototype. As for the auth code specifically, it can be replaced with something as simple as this:  https://github.com/openstack/python-glanceclient/blob/master/glanceclient/shell.py#L119

It seems like much of what is in https://github.com/openstack/python-glanceclient/tree/master/glanceclient/common would be useful across all projects.  The same could likely be said for the basic keystone code required by a client (e.g., https://github.com/openstack/python-novaclient/blob/master/novaclient/service_catalog.py).

It is not intended to be a drop-in replacement for the existing client that lives in Glance, but a complete rewrite with a shiny new interface that maintains feature-parity.
