I'm using Kubernetes Python Client to implement to implement a custom scheduler. Here is the code of the scheduler.

from kubernetes import client, config, watch
from kubernetes.client.rest import ApiException
config.load_kube_config()
v1 = client.CoreV1Api()

scheduler_name = 'custom-scheduler-test'

def nodes_available():
    ready_nodes = []
    for n in v1.list_node().items:
        for status in n.status.conditions:
            if status.status == 'True' and status.type == 'Ready':
                ready_nodes.append(n.metadata.name)
    return ready_nodes

def scheduler(name, node, namespace='default'):
    body = client.V1ConfigMap()
    target = client.V1ObjectReference()
    target.kind = 'Node'
    target.apiVersion = 'v1'
    target.name = node
    meta = client.V1ObjectMeta()
    meta.name = name
    body.target = target
    body.metadata = meta
    return v1.create_namespaced_binding(namespace, body)

def main():
    w = watch.Watch()
    for event in w.stream(v1.list_namespaced_pod, 'default'):
        if event['object'].status.phase == 'Pending' and event['object'
                ].spec.scheduler_name == scheduler_name:
            try:
                res = scheduler(event['object'].metadata.name,random.choice(nodes_available()))
            except ApiException as e:
                print ("Exception when calling CoreV1Api->create_namespaced_binding: %s\n" % e)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

This code worked before for Kubernetes 1.6 but now I have 1.7 and it shows target.name: Required value. Any clue to fix the error?

Error Message

If I use body = client.V1Binding() instead of body = client.V1ConfigMap() it shows following error message

 File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kubernetes/client/models/v1_binding.py", line 64, in __init__
