<p>I have generated a python script that opens a deployment config_file.yaml, modifies some parameters and saves it again, using pyyaml. This python script will be executed in the master node of a Kubernetes cluster.</p>

<p>Once is generated the new file, my intention is to execute </p>

<pre><code>kubectl apply -f config_file.yaml
</code></pre>

<p>in the python script to apply the modifications to the deployment. </p>

<p>I have  been reading how to do it using kubernetes python client, but it seems it is not prepare to execute kubectl apply.</p>

<p>So the other option is to create a bash script and execute it from python script.</p>

<p>Bash scripts:</p>

<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
sudo kubectl apply -f config_file.yaml
</code></pre>

<p>I give it permissions 
chmod +x shell_scipt.sh</p>

<p>Python script: </p>

<pre><code>import subprocess
subprocess.call(['./shell_script.sh'])
</code></pre>

<p>But an error appears:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1047, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied</p>

<p>I don't know how to resolve this error, I have tested givin permissions to the bash script, but nothing worked.</p>

<p>I do not know anything about Kubernetes but I think I might help.</p>

<p>I am basically suggesting that you run the command directly from Python script, not having Python running a bash script which runs a command.</p>

<pre><code>import os

command = 'kubectl apply -f config_file.yaml'
password = 'yourpassword'
p = os.system('echo %s|sudo -S %s' % (passs, command))
</code></pre>
