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 delete a project / namespace using the Python Kubernetes client.

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)

namespaces = dyn_client.resources.get(api_version='v1', kind='Namespace')
response   = namespaces.delete(name='my-project')

print(response)

Something like this should be returned.
