Can't delete pods using Kubernetes API

I am using the python client library for the API. I am using the following code :

def delete_pod(name, namespace):
	api_instance = client.CoreV1Api()
	body = client.V1DeleteOptions()
	api_response = api_instance.delete_namespaced_pod(name, namespace, body)
	return api_response
print delete_pod('kargo-3','default')

But I get the following error :

At first I thought this was because I wasn’t providing kubernetes.client.configuration.api_key['authorization'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'

But then I am able to use the APIs to get pod list node list, etc. They should also require authorization. Any clue?

Good afternoon. I’m new to Python and I’ve been working on a python script to remove a particular pod using the Kubernetes API, but it is not working. I was wondering if someone could take a look at my script to see what the problem could be. Currently I’m getting a SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing, which means the code is processing all the way through. Below is my script:

from kubernetes import client, config

config.load_kube_config()

def delete_pod(self,name,namespace,body): core_v1 = client.CoreV1Api() delete_options = client.V1DeleteOptions() try: api_response = core_v1.delete_namespaced_pod( name=‘Stang-hi’, namespace=‘default’, body=delete_options) print(api_response)

I suspect you have a Python syntax problem in your script unrelated to the kubernetes package, but I’m not sure because the script you’ve posted isn’t formatted correctly. I have edited your script slightly and it seems to work for me.

from kubernetes import client, config

config.load_kube_config()


def delete_pod(name, namespace):
    core_v1 = client.CoreV1Api()
    delete_options = client.V1DeleteOptions()
    api_response = core_v1.delete_namespaced_pod(
        name=name,
        namespace=namespace,
        body=delete_options)
    print(api_response)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    delete_pod(name='Stang-hi', namespace='default')

I got a similar error and was able to address this by using the following code to explicitly set api_client.

Here’s the code that works. This works when running inside a Docker container on my local machine talking to a remote k8s cluster.

k8s_config.load_kube_config()
api_client = k8s_client.ApiClient()
v1 = k8s_client.CoreV1Api(api_client)
print(v1.api_client.host)
print(v1.list_pod_for_all_namespaces())

Here’s the code that doesn’t work

k8s_config.load_kube_config()
v1 = k8s_client.CoreV1Api()
print(v1.api_client.host)
print(v1.list_pod_for_all_namespaces())

which produces output

https://localhost
...
MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v1/pods (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7f21a4a11fd0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))

So the problem appears to be that api_client ends up using host ‘localhost’ for the K8s master which is incorrect; my k8s master is remote and has an actual ip address.

Interestingly I only hit this problem when running the above snippet inside a container on my local machine. However, I don’t hit this problem when running on my host machine. However, there’s no guarantee that my python environments are equivalent.
