They expose RESTful APIs. Client can be implemented in python like higher level scripting languages. RESTful APIs should also implement storage management (LVM, mkfs, RAID...), network management and other related node level commands. Next question is, does it make sense to leverage any other existing project for management framework or keep it limited to gluster operations alone. Unlike oVirt based management framework currently in development, I would like to see something simpler and light weight. No Java or JBoss dependency please :).

Minimal dependencies and NO java is definitely +1 from me. :)
