new-pykube 24.11.0

Python client library for Kubernetes

new-pykube

Pykube (new-pykube) is a lightweight Python 3.6+ client library for Kubernetes.

This is a fork of pykube-ng which is no longer maintained.

Features

• HTTP interface using requests using kubeconfig for authentication
• Python native querying of Kubernetes API objects

Installation

To install pykube, use pip:

pip install new-pykube

Interactive Console

The pykube library module can be run as an interactive console locally for quick exploration. It will automatically load ~/.kube/config to provide the api object, and it loads pykube classes (Deployment, Pod, ..) into local context:

python3 -m pykube
>>> [d.name for d in Deployment.objects(api)]

Usage

Query for all ready pods in a custom namespace:

import operator
import pykube

api = pykube.HTTPClient(pykube.KubeConfig.from_file())
pods = pykube.Pod.objects(api).filter(namespace="gondor-system")
ready_pods = filter(operator.attrgetter("ready"), pods)

Access any attribute of the Kubernetes object:

pod = pykube.Pod.objects(api).filter(namespace="gondor-system").get(name="my-pod")
pod.obj["spec"]["containers"][0]["image"]

Selector query:

pods = pykube.Pod.objects(api).filter(
    namespace="gondor-system",
    selector={"gondor.io/name__in": {"api-web", "api-worker"}},
)
pending_pods = pykube.objects.Pod.objects(api).filter(
    field_selector={"status.phase": "Pending"}
)

Watch query:

watch = pykube.Job.objects(api, namespace="gondor-system")
watch = watch.filter(field_selector={"metadata.name": "my-job"}).watch()

# watch is a generator:
for watch_event in watch:
    print(watch_event.type) # 'ADDED', 'DELETED', 'MODIFIED'
    print(watch_event.object) # pykube.Job object

Create a Deployment:

obj = {
    "apiVersion": "apps/v1",
    "kind": "Deployment",
    "metadata": {
        "name": "my-deploy",
        "namespace": "gondor-system"
    },
    "spec": {
        "replicas": 3,
        "selector": {
            "matchLabels": {
                "app": "nginx"
            }
        },
        "template": {
            "metadata": {
                "labels": {
                    "app": "nginx"
                }
            },
            "spec": {
                "containers": [
                    {
                        "name": "nginx",
                        "image": "nginx",
                        "ports": [
                            {"containerPort": 80}
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}
pykube.Deployment(api, obj).create()

Delete a Deployment:

obj = {
    "apiVersion": "apps/v1",
    "kind": "Deployment",
    "metadata": {
        "name": "my-deploy",
        "namespace": "gondor-system"
    }
}
pykube.Deployment(api, obj).delete()

Check server version:

api = pykube.HTTPClient(pykube.KubeConfig.from_file())
api.version

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• requests (included in install_requires)
• PyYAML (included in install_requires)

Local Development

You can run pykube against your current kubeconfig context, e.g. local Minikube:

poetry install
poetry run python3
>>> import pykube
>>> config = pykube.KubeConfig.from_file()
>>> api = pykube.HTTPClient(config)
>>> list(pykube.Deployment.objects(api))

To run PEP8 (flake8) checks and unit tests including coverage report:

make test
