<p>I’m building an App that runs on K8s version 1.21 and the container already includes Python 3.92.  Do I still need to install <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python</a>  if I want to interact with Kubernetes using Python or am I good?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Kubernetes Python client is the library that helps you interact with <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.22/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Kubernetes API</a>.</p>
<p>So if you want to do anything with Kubernetes API from inside your Python program (e.g. query the currently running Pods), then you need to install Kubernetes python client.</p>
<p>However, if your application is just deployed in Kubernetes, but does not need interact with Kubernetes API, then you don't need it.</p>
