We use the existing API libraries from python-*client projects.
openstackclient replaces the shell (UI) of the existing clients.

We discussed at the summit factoring out the common bits of the API
libraries and putting those into openstackclient, but that is not the
immediate priority.  I think we need a bit more thought about use
cases for, say, glanceclient requiring openstackclient even in a
stand-alone installation.
