I'm trying to connect to my gke cluster using kubernetes-incubator/client-python library. I'm running just the basic query:

from kubernetes import client, config
# Configs can be set in Configuration class directly or using helper utility
config.load_kube_config()
v1 = client.CoreV1Api()
print("Listing pods with their IPs:")
ret = v1.list_pod_for_all_namespaces(watch=False)
for i in ret.items:
print("%s\t%s\t%s" % (i.status.pod_ip, i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name))

And I'm getting an error:

I thought there was an issue with my kube.config file. So I removed it and created the cluster again in order to recreate a new kube.config file. The issue remained. Can you help me on this please?
