A way to stream stdout? about openshift-client-python HOT 3 CLOSED

@jkugler I don't believe you are missing anything. This library is a wrapper written around the oc command and the majority of it was written to provide a rich interaction with OpenShift via the oc command. Because we support both local and remote executions, it's much easier for us to capture everything into our Result class, and then pass that back to the consumer to deal with it, as they see fit.
Everything that you are looking for should be available inside of the Result object returned from whatever Action that you are performing. While the output may not be streaming real-time, it is available immediately after the action completes and can be written to the screen in multiple ways (action.out, action.as_dict(), action.as_json()). Another nice feature of the action.as_*() methods is the ability to redact sensitive information from the output.
Hopefully this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thanks for the answer! I'm trying to move our team to use the Python API, whether it be this API or https://github.com/openshift/openshift-restclient-python instead of directly shelling out to the oc command, in order to better handle errors, etc. But, there is a lot of pushback because we then won't have streaming output for the developers so they can watch the progress, abort if there is a hang, etc.

I saw the restclient version had a watch method on objects, so maybe that will return logs in real time. I need to investigate that.

No problem, happy to help!

We do provide error tracking as well as a timeout, on oc actions, that sound like it could be something that you could utilize versus the streaming logging. The following link is to a pretty simple example of both of these features:
