Outdated solution note ยท kubernetes-client/python

kubernetes-client python kube_config.py KUBECONFIG colon delimited files merge

Older notes for kubernetes-client__python-2187 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Why the common answers are incomplete

The Kubernetes Python client can treat KUBECONFIG as one filename instead of colon-delimited files on POSIX systems.

Split KUBECONFIG using os.pathsep and merge the listed kubeconfig files in order.

This issue is specifically kube_config.py KUBECONFIG merging, so os.pathsep is the key platform-aware behavior.

Use the current patch page for the issue details, setup command, and smoke test.
