Looks like those docs are pretty outdated. I have a github repository where I have been putting together some examples of doing common commands with
a) cli
b) python-*client
c) curl

It is incomplete but this should help get you started:

# helper method to create the client
https://github.com/vishvananda/openstack-examples/blob/master/helper.py

# keypair methods
https://github.com/vishvananda/openstack-examples/blob/master/keypair.py
