python-novaclient-2012.1-0.2.e4.fc18.noarch Novaclient tries to create director at $HOME/.novaclient. For horizon this is /var/www apparently, and causes an error. This directory is created for shell bash completion apparently. User can work around it by manually creating that directory, but obviously we shouldn't have to do that.

I wonder could the horizon init scripts do something like export NOVACLIENT_UUID_CACHE_DIR=/var/run/horizon/novaclient/ Though I agree that this is an optional feature that shouldn't cause a failure. I wonder could the patch in comment #1 suffice?
Assume the code comment about bash completion is correct, I'd think the right thing to do would move that init bit to the shell tool only, and API users shouldn't need to care about it. I haven't dug into the code much though.
Upstream change to just ignore the issue https://review.openstack.org/#change,5608
So are we taking this upstream hack?
Yes it's not perfect but should avoid the issue. Given the impact this has on horizon, I'll do a new rc1 update presently
