Python: How to do "--record" via API call?

[ghost]

Hi,

As title. An example would be:

CLI:

$ kubectl set image \
    deployment/name \
    -n namespace \
    some_image:sometag \
        --record
$ kubectl rollout history deployment/name 
deployments "name"
REVISION  CHANGE-CAUSE
1         kubectl set image deployment/name \
    -n namespace some_image:sometag --record
2         <none>

API

...
try: 
    api_response = api_instance.patch_namespaced_deployment(name, namespace, body, pretty=pretty)  # <- What should I submit in **kwargs ??
...

How do I do it API with CHANGE-CAUSE?

Got this resolved. Before calling patch_namespaced_deployment, the body should have annotation field kubernetes.io/change-cause. For example,

...
with open("/path/to/your/manifest.yml") as f:
  for data in yaml.load_all(f):
    if data is not None and data['kind'] == 'Deployment':
      dep = data.copy()
k8s_beta = client.ExtensionsV1beta1Api()
dep['metadata']['annotations'] = {
  'kubernetes.io/change-cause': 'kubectl set image deployment/{0} {0}={0}:{1} --record'.format("your-deployment-name", "tag-of-your-image")
}
resp = k8s_beta.patch_namespaced_deployment(name="your-deployment-name"],
                                                    body=dep, namespace="default")
...
