---------------------------------------------

    Assignee: Rohit Yadav  (was: Prasanna Santhanam)

The cmd library contained in the python default set is a good candidate for this: See http://blog.doughellmann.com/2008/05/pymotw-cmd.html

We should also reuse the verbs used by marvin already such as add, create, list , delete, restart etc for each API action. Simplifying the grammar for each will also be essential to keep the CLI simple and easy to use.

> The marvin libraries contain the capability to convert marvin into an interactive shell for CloudStack. Every cloud provider has an auto-completing shell and cloudstack lacks options for this now. This should involve refactoring all the marvin libraries to allow for auto-completion of APIs.
> Furthermore the ability to autocomplete the entities like templates, images, virtualmachines need to exist as a part of such a shell to make it useful at cloudscale
