Kubernetes Python Client

Python client for the kubernetes API.

Installation

From source:

git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/client-python.git
cd client-python
python setup.py install

From PyPi directly:

pip install kubernetes

Example

list all pods:

from kubernetes import client, config

# Configs can be set in Configuration class directly or using helper utility
config.load_kube_config()

v1=client.CoreV1Api()
print("Listing pods with their IPs:")
ret = v1.list_pod_for_all_namespaces(watch=False)
for i in ret.items:
    print("%s\t%s\t%s" % (i.status.pod_ip, i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name))

watch on namespace object:

from kubernetes import client, config, watch

# Configs can be set in Configuration class directly or using helper utility
config.load_kube_config()

v1 = client.CoreV1Api()
count = 10
w = watch.Watch()
for event in w.stream(v1.list_namespace, _request_timeout=60):
    print("Event: %s %s" % (event['type'], event['object'].metadata.name))
    count -= 1
    if not count:
        w.stop()

print("Ended.")

More examples can be found in examples folder. To run examples, run this command:

Troubleshooting

SSLError on macOS

If you get an SSLError, you likely need to update your version of python. The version that ships with macOS may not be supported.

Install the latest version of python with brew:

brew install python

Once installed, you can query the version of OpenSSL like so:

python -c "import ssl; print ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION"

You'll need a version with OpenSSL version 1.0.0 or later.
