Subject: [openstack-dev] [magnum] swagger-codegen generated code for python-k8sclient

Hi All,

This is to have a discussion on the blueprint for implementing python-k8client for magnum.

    https://blueprints.launchpad.net/magnum/+spec/python-k8sclient

I have committed the code generated by swagger-codegen at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/166720/.
But I feel the quality of the code generated by swagger-codegen is not good.

Some of the points:
1) There is lot of code duplication. If we want to generate code for two or more versions, same code is duplicated for each API version.
2) There is no modularity. CLI code for all the APIs are written in same file.

So, I would like your opinion on this. How should we proceed further?

Madhuri,

First off, spectacular that you figured out how to do this!  Great great job!  I suspected the swagger code would be a bunch of garbage.  Just looking over the review, the output isn’t too terribly bad.  It has some serious pep8 problems.

Now that we have seen the swagger code generator works, we need to see if it produces useable output.  In other words, can the API be used by the magnum backend.  Google is “all-in” on swagger for their API model.  Realistically maintaining a python binding would be a huge job.  If we could just use swagger for the short term, even though its less then ideal, that would be my preference.  Even if its suboptimal.  We can put a readme in the TLD saying the code was generated by a a code generator and explain how to generate the API.

One last question.  I didn’t see immediately by looking at the api, but does it support TLS auth?  We will need that.

Super impressed!
