Are you taking about compute or storage? In any case, it doesn't really matter because both of the APIs support OpenStack installations.
For compute you can find an example at https://libcloud.apache.org/docs/compute-examples.html#example-3-openstack-node-using-local-openstack . For storage you can use a Provider.CLOUDFILES_SWIFT provider ( https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/libcloud/storage/providers.py#L41). Sadly there are no examples available at the moment, but the driver constructor takes the same arguments as the compute driver.
