k8s-helpers 1.0.2a6

Collection of Kubernetes command-line utilities

k8s-utils

A collection of Kubernetes command-line utilities built with Python and Typer.

Installation

This project uses uv for package management.

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Run commands
uv run k8stools <command> [args]

Alternatively, install the package to use it without the uv run prefix:

uv pip install -e .
k8stools <command> [args]

Commands

podcount

Count non-daemonset pods per node in the current Kubernetes context.

# Use current context
uv run k8stools podcount

# Specify a different context
uv run k8stools podcount --context my-context

This command:

• Retrieves all pods and nodes in the cluster
• Excludes pods managed by DaemonSets
• Displays a table showing pod count per node
• Shows total non-DaemonSet pod count

Example output:

Development

The project structure:

k8s-utils/
\x00\x00 k8s_utils/
   \x00\x00 __init__.py
   \x00\x00 main.py              # CLI entry point
   \x00\x00 commands/
       \x00\x00 __init__.py
       \x00\x00 podcount.py      # podcount command implementation
\x00\x00 pyproject.toml
\x00\x00 README.md

To add a new command:

1. Create a new file in k8s_utils/commands/ (e.g., mycommand.py)
2. Implement your command as a function with Typer annotations
3. Import and register it in k8s_utils/main.py:

from k8s_utils.commands import mycommand

app.command(name="mycommand")(mycommand.mycommand)

Requirements

• Python 3.13+
• Access to a Kubernetes cluster with a valid kubeconfig
• uv package manager
