[Planetlab-devel] API - inconsistency issue with expired slices

[Thierry Parmentelat]

Hi Tony

I have noticed the following on my version of the API
- GetSlices does filter out expired slices
- But in the various cross-references, like e.g. a site's slice_ids, 
these are not filtered out
I am giving an example below

I believe this is a bug, but before I fix it I'd like to know your feelings.

============
So for instance I have on a simplistic myplc

 >>> len(GetSlices())
1
 >>> GetSlices()[0]['slice_id']
4

BUT
 >>> GetSites(1,['slice_ids'])
[{'slice_ids': [4, 6]}]

And this extra slice with slice_id=6 shows up in the DB as an expired slice:

planetlab4=> select slice_id,site_id,created,expires from slices where 
is_deleted is false;
 slice_id | site_id |          created           |       expires

        6 |       1 | 2007-08-01 17:06:20.311229 | 2007-08-15 17:06:20
