Kubernetes Python Client

Build StatusPyPI versioncodecovpypi supported versionsClient CapabilitiesClient Support Level

Python client for the kubernetes API.

Installation

From source:

git clone --recursive 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:

fromkubernetesimportclient, config# Configs can be set in Configuration class directly or using helper utilityconfig.load_kube_config() v1=client.CoreV1Api() print("Listing pods with their IPs:") ret=v1.list_pod_for_all_namespaces(watch=False) foriinret.items: print("%s\t%s\t%s"% (i.status.pod_ip, i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name))

watch on namespace object:

fromkubernetesimportclient, config, watch# Configs can be set in Configuration class directly or using helper utilityconfig.load_kube_config() v1=client.CoreV1Api() count=10w=watch.Watch() foreventinw.stream(v1.list_namespace, _request_timeout=60): print("Event: %s %s"% (event['type'], event['object'].metadata.name)) count-=1ifnotcount: 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 the example base filename)

Documentation

All APIs and Models' documentation can be found at the Generated client's README file

Compatibility

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.

Compatibility matrix

Kubernetes 1.4Kubernetes 1.5Kubernetes 1.6Kubernetes 1.7Kubernetes 1.8
client-python 1.0+---
client-python 2.0++--
client-python 3.0+++-
client-python 4.0++++
client-python HEAD++++

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, but everything they have in common will work.
  • - The Kubernetes cluster has features the client-python library can't use (additional API objects, etc).

See the CHANGELOG for a detailed description of changes between client-python versions.

Key:

  • Changes in main Kubernetes repo are manually (should be automated) published to client-python when they are available.
  • No longer maintained; please upgrade.

Note: There would be no maintenance for alpha/beta releases except the latest one.

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.

Hostname doesn't match

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.

Why Exec/Attach calls doesn't work

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, .... See more at exec example.
