• openstackclient.api.api -> osc_lib.api.api
• openstackclient.api.auth -> osc_lib.api.auth
• openstackclient.api.utils -> osc_lib.api.utils
• openstackclient.common.command -> osc_lib.command.command
• openstackclient.common.commandmanager -> osc_lib.command.commandmanager
• openstackclient.common.exceptions -> osc_lib.exceptions
• openstackclient.common.logs -> osc_lib.logs
• openstackclient.common.parseractions -> osc_lib.cli.parseractions
• openstackclient.common.session -> osc_lib.session
• openstackclient.common.utils -> osc_lib.utils
• openstackclient.i18n -> osc_lib.i18n
• openstackclient.shell -> osc_lib.shell

Also, some of the test fixtures and modules may be used:

• openstackclient.tests.fakes -> osc_lib.tests.fakes
• openstackclient.tests.utils -> osc_lib.tests.utils
