It uses requests for HTTP communication and kubeconfig for authentication, allowing you to query, filter, create, and delete Kubernetes resources (Pods, Deployments, Jobs, etc.) programmatically. The library exposes Kubernetes objects as Python classes with methods for common operations like filtering by namespace or selector, watching for changes, and accessing raw API attributes.\n\nThe package is a maintained fork of the original pykube project, which was archived. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.10 and depends on urllib3, pyyaml, and requests. While it provides a simpler, more Pythonic interface than direct API calls, it is no longer actively maintained\u2014the last release was over 1155 days ago, so compatibility with recent Kubernetes versions and security updates are not guaranteed.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. pykube-ng is stable and has low install friction, making it suitable for existing projects or scripts that already depend on it. However, do not adopt it for new projects: the package is abandoned (no releases in 1155+ days), so it will not receive security patches or updates for newer Kubernetes API versions. For new work, consider the actively maintained official Kubernetes Python client (kubernetes) instead."},"id":"pykube-ng","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pykube-ng","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pykube-ng.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pykube-ng/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-06-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pykube-ng","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python client library for Kubernetes"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":252860,"position":8531,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"23.6.0"}
