title: Python Kubernetes Client equivalent of kubectl get pods
body: <p>I'm trying to use the Python Kubernetes Client to get the run-time of each container for all my pods. Using the K8s CLI this information is available by using <code>kubectl describe pods</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I can get the output for a single pod by using </p>
  
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>api_response = api_instance.read_namespaced_pod(name='pod-name',namespace='namespace-name')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I need this information for all the pods. </p>
  
  <p>What is the equivalent of <code>kubectl get pods</code>for Python K8s library? I'm thinking I can use this to create a list of pods and use the mentioned command above to loop through them by their pod-name and get the required information. </p>
