Podman pods.list() returns truncated IDs that can not be used by pods.get()

[rhatdan]

$ podman create pod --name mypod
$ cat podman-pods.py
import podman
client=podman.PodmanClient()
for i in client.pods.list():
    print(i)
    print(help(client.pods.get(pod_id=i)))
$ python podman-images.py
<Pod: 116291543d>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/dwalsh/go/src/github.com/containers/common/podman-images.py", line 5, in <module>
    print(help(client.pods.get(pod_id=i)))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/podman/domain/pods_manager.py", line 56, in get
    response.raise_for_status()

podman.errors.exceptions.NotFound: 404 Client Error: Not Found (no pod with name or ID <Pod: 116291543d> found: no such pod)

I think there might be two bugs here.

1. List, should not truncate the IDs returned.
2. Podman pod.get() should be able to handle truncated IDs.

@mwhahaha @jwhonce PTAL

I took a quick look at the code, but do not really understand it. The json call to the service seems to be bringing back the complete ID, not sure where it is getting truncated.

Ok, after examining this further, I understand a little better what is going on.

What I was trying to do was the equivalent of
$ podman pod inspect mypod
But via Python. It seems that there are lots of additional calls required to do this?

Looks like the following gives me close to what I want.

import podman
client=podman.PodmanClient()
for i in client.pods.list():
    print(i.attrs)

@rhatdan, get() returns a pod object not a str. I could enhance the API calls to check if invoked with a str or an object. get(object) currently is supported/implemented via object.reload().

with podman.PodmanClient() as client:
    pod = client.pods.get("mypod")
    print(pod.attrs)

https://github.com/containers/podman-py/blob/main/README.md shows iterating over images and containers using objects and attr dict's.

Closing this issue as "works as expected"
