CloudCoil – Production-ready Python client for cloud-native ecosystem

Show HN: CloudCoil – Production-ready Python client for the cloud-native ecosystem I built CloudCoil (https://github.com/cloudcoil/cloudcoil) to make cloud-native development in Python feel first-class, starting with a modern async Kubernetes client. Frustrated with existing tools that felt like awkward ports from Go/Java, I focused on creating an API that Python developers would actually enjoy using. Installation is as simple as: uv add cloudcoil[kubernetes] # Using uv (recommended) pip install cloudcoil[kubernetes] # Using pip Key features: - Elegant, truly…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Show HN: CloudCoil – Production-ready Python client for the cloud-native ecosystem I built CloudCoil (https://github.com/cloudcoil/cloudcoil) to make cloud-native development in Python feel first-class, starting with a modern async Kubernetes client. Frustrated with existing tools that felt like awkward ports from Go/Java, I focused on creating an API that Python developers would actually enjoy using. Installation is as simple as: uv add cloudcoil[kubernetes] # Using uv (recommended) pip install cloudcoil[kubernetes] # Using pip Key features: - Elegant, truly Pythonic API that follows Python idioms - Async-first with native async/await (but sync works too!) - Full type safety with MyPy + Pydantic - Zero-config pytest fixtures for K8s integration testing Quick taste of the API: # It's this simple to work with resources service = k8s.core.v1.Service.get("kubernetes") # Async iteration feels natural async for pod in await k8s.core.v1.Pod.async_list(): print(f"Found pod: {pod.metadata.name}") # Create resources with pure Python syntax deployment = k8s.apps.v1.Deployment( metadata=dict(name="web"), spec=dict(replicas=3) ).create() The ecosystem is growing! We already have first-class integrations for: - cert-manager (cloudcoil.models.cert_manager) - FluxCD (cloudcoil.models.fluxcd) - Kyverno (cloudcoil.models.kyverno) Missing your favorite operator? I've made it super easy to add new integrations using our cookiecutter template and codegen tools. I'd especially love feedback on: 1. The API design - does it feel natural to Python devs? 2. Testing features - what else would make k8s testing easier? 3. Which operators/CRDs you'd most like to see integrated next Check out https://github.com/cloudcoil/cloudcoil or try it out with PyPI: cloudcoil

    Started this because configuring Fabric8 for EKS was driving me crazy. Building a client that auto-detects your environment (IAM roles, profiles, local configs) so you don't have to wire it all up manually. Still pretty early and building for EKS right now. Long way to go, but putting it out there early to see if others have hit the same problems or want to help shape where this goes.

    I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
