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

             Summary: ex_get_image needs some love, see description.
                 Key: LIBCLOUD-786
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-786
             Project: Libcloud
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Compute
            Reporter: Scott Crunkleton


Firstly, the parameter 'ex_project_list' is a misnomer. It is being treated as a single project, not list of projects.

Secondly, it's slow. When not providing a project parameter, ex_get_image lists all images from all projects listed in GCENodeDriver.IMAGE_PROJECTS. This is a separate API call for each project. After getting all the images, any images that have licenses create another API call via ex_get_license. 

Thirdly, if any of the license calls try to pull a license from an image project that the user doesn't have access to, it raises a ResourceNotFoundError.

My opinion: fix the ex_project_list param, and see about not populating the image license data when fetching images.
