It wraps the kubernetes client and provides a dynamic resource model that lets you interact with any Kubernetes or OpenShift resource\u2014built-in types like Services and Routes, as well as custom resources defined via Custom Resource Definitions\u2014without needing resource-specific generated code. The library depends on kubernetes, python-string-utils, and six.\n\nYou instantiate a DynamicClient from a Kubernetes API client, then call `resources.get()` to retrieve a resource type by API version and kind, and use standard methods like `get()`, `create()`, `delete()`, `patch()`, `replace()`, and `watch()` to interact with instances. The package includes helper utilities for authentication, such as username/password login to OpenShift clusters. Because the project is abandoned and has not been updated since 2023-07-25, compatibility with recent Kubernetes or OpenShift releases is uncertain.","worth_installing":"Yes, but with caution. The package is suitable for existing OpenShift/Kubernetes Python automation projects and provides a clean dynamic API that avoids code generation. However, the project is abandoned\u2014no updates since 2023-07-25\u2014so verify compatibility with your target Kubernetes and OpenShift versions before adopting it in new projects. For actively maintained alternatives, check the kubernetes client directly or newer OpenShift-specific libraries."},"id":"openshift","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openshift","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openshift.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openshift/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-07-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"openshift","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"OpenShift python client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":528536,"position":6165,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.13.2"}
