txkube is a Twisted-based client library for interacting with Kubernetes.

from __future__ import print_function
from twisted.internet.task import react

from txkube import v1, network_kubernetes_from_context

@react
def main(reactor):
    k8s = network_kubernetes_from_context(reactor, u"minikube")
    client = k8s.client()
    d = client.list(v1.Namespace)
    d.addCallback(print)
    return d

To install the latest version of txkube using pip:

$ pip install txkube

For additional development dependencies, install the dev extra:

$ pip install txkube[dev]

txkube uses pyunit-style tests. After installing the development dependencies, you can run the test suite with trial:

$ pip install txkube[dev]
$ trial txkube

txkube also includes integration tests. It is not recommended that you run these against anything but a dedicated testing Kubernetes cluster. Minikube is an easy way to obtain such a thing. Once running:

$ pip install txkube[dev]
$ TXKUBE_INTEGRATION_CONTEXT=minikube trial txkube

This will run the full test suite which includes the integration tests. It will interact with (and make destructive changes to) the identified Kubernetes cluster.
