Python client for the kubernetes API.
From source:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python.git
cd python
python setup.py install
From PyPI directly:
pip install kubernetes
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:
python -m examples.example1(replace example1 with one of the filenames in the examples folder)
All APIs and Models' documentation can be found at the Generated client's README file
client-python follows semver, so until the major version of
client-python gets increased, your code will continue to work with explicitly
supported versions of Kubernetes clusters.
| Kubernetes 1.13 | Kubernetes 1.14 | Kubernetes 1.15 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| client-python 9.0 | ✓ | +- | +- |
| client-python 10.0 | +- | ✓ | +- |
| client-python 11.0 | +- | +- | ✓ |

Key:
✓Exactly the same features / API objects in both client-python and the Kubernetes version.+client-python has features or API objects that may not be present in the Kubernetes cluster, either due to that client-python has additional new API, or that the server has removed old API. However, everything they have in common (i.e., most APIs) will work. Please note that alpha APIs may vanish or change significantly in a single release.-The Kubernetes cluster has features the client-python library can't use, either due to the server has additional new API, or that client-python has removed old API. However, everything they share in common (i.e., most APIs) will work.
See the CHANGELOG for a detailed description of changes between client-python versions.

✓Changes in main Kubernetes repo are manually (should be automated) published to client-python when they are available.✗No longer maintained; please upgrade.
Kubernetes supports three minor releases at a time. "Support" means we expect users to be running that version in production, though we may not port fixes back before the latest minor version. For example, when v1.3 comes out, v1.0 will no longer be supported. In consistent with Kubernetes support policy, we expect to support three GA major releases (corresponding to three Kubernetes minor releases) at a time.
Note: There would be no maintenance for alpha/beta releases except the latest one.
If you have any problem on using the package or any suggestions, please start with reaching the Kubernetes clients slack channel, or filing an issue to let us know. You can also reach the maintainers of this project at SIG API Machinery, where this project falls under.

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.
If you get an ssl.CertificateError complaining about hostname match, your installed packages does not meet version requirements.
Specifically check ipaddress and urllib3 package versions to make sure they met requirements in requirements.txt file.
Starting from 4.0 release, we do not support directly calling exec or attach calls. you should use stream module to call them. so instead
of resp = api.connect_get_namespaced_pod_exec(name, ... you should call resp = stream(api.connect_get_namespaced_pod_exec, name, ....
Using Stream will overwrite the requests protocol in core_v1_api.CoreV1Api() This will cause a failure in non-exec/attach calls. If you reuse your api client object, you will need to recreate it between api calls that use stream and other api calls.
See more at exec example.
