The openshift package can be used to interact with OpenShift in Python. pip install can be used to install the OpenShift package.

pip install openshift

You may want to first check out my article FreeKB - OpenShift - Login into OpenShift using Python.

And here is an example of how you could log into OpenShift with a username and password and list all Secrets in all namespaces.

#!/usr/bin/python
from kubernetes import client
from openshift.dynamic import DynamicClient
from openshift.helper.userpassauth import OCPLoginConfiguration

apihost = 'https://api.openshift.example.com:6443'
username = 'john.doe'
password = 'itsasecret'

kubeConfig = OCPLoginConfiguration(ocp_username=username, ocp_password=password)
kubeConfig.host = apihost
kubeConfig.verify_ssl = False
kubeConfig.get_token()

k8s_client = client.ApiClient(kubeConfig)
dyn_client = DynamicClient(k8s_client)

v1_secrets = dyn_client.resources.get(api_version='v1', kind='Secret')
secrets = v1_secrets.get()

print(secrets)

Here is a bit more of a practical example with try / except / else error handling.

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
from kubernetes import client
from kubernetes.client.rest import ApiException
from openshift.dynamic import DynamicClient
from openshift.helper.userpassauth import OCPLoginConfiguration

kubeConfig = OCPLoginConfiguration(ocp_username='john.doe', ocp_password='itsasecret')
kubeConfig.host = 'https://api.openshift.example.com:6443'
kubeConfig.verify_ssl = False
kubeConfig.get_token()

k8s_client = client.ApiClient(kubeConfig)
dyn_client = DynamicClient(k8s_client)

try:
  v1_secrets = dyn_client.resources.get(api_version='v1', kind='Secret')
except ApiException as exception:
  print(f"got the following exception - {exception}")
  sys.exit(1)

secrets = v1_secrets.get()

print(secrets)

And here is now you could list all Secrets in a specific namespace.

secrets = v1_secrets.get(namespace='my-project')

And here is now you could list a specific Secret in a specific namespace.

secret = v1_secrets.get(namespace='my-project', name='my-secret')

If your request returns two or more results, here is how you can loop through the results.

secrets = v1_secrets.get()

for secret in secrets.items:
  print(secret)

And here is how you can print a specific key in the response using dot notation.

secrets = v1_secrets.get()

for secret in secrets.items:
  print(secret.metadata.name)

Or like this.

secrets = v1_secrets.get()

for secret in secrets.items:
  print(secret['metadata']['name'])
