How to use this python client to delete existed pod?

[nettyxiong]

I use the follows code to delete pod and use a loop to check it if exists. But I find that I can always get pod info although the pod would no be seen in the dashboard. I don't know how to prove that pod has already been deleted.

def delete_pod(api_instance):
    name = 'test'
    namespace = 'default'
    api_response = api_instance.delete_namespaced_pod(name, namespace)
    time.sleep(5)

    resp = None

    while True:
        resp = api_instance.read_namespaced_pod_status(name, namespace)
        print resp
        if not resp:
            print 'Has been deleted successfully...'
            break
        time.sleep(1)

Done.
I use the try/except to catch the exception if it has been deleted.
Code as follows:

def deletePod(self, pod_name, yaml_content):
        name = pod_name
        namespace = 'default'
        time_cost = 0

        try:
            self.m_api_instance.delete_namespaced_pod(
                name, namespace, body=client.V1DeleteOptions(propagation_policy='Foreground', grace_period_seconds=5))
        except client.rest.ApiException, e:
            if e.status == 404:
                if self.validLogger():
                    self.m_logger.info('Has been deleted already...')
                return True
            else:
                if self.validLogger():
                    self.m_logger.error('Delete pod "%s" failed, the detail error msg is :"%s"', traceback.format_exc())
                return False

        while True:
            try:
                resp = self.m_api_instance.read_namespaced_pod_status(name, namespace)
                print resp.status.phase
            except client.rest.ApiException, e:
                if e.status == 404:
                    if self.validLogger():
                        self.m_logger.info('Has been deleted successfully...')
                    return True
                else:
                    if self.validLogger():
                        self.m_logger.error('Delete pod %s failed, the detail error msg is :"%s"',
                                            traceback.format_exc())
                    return False
            time.sleep(self.Sleep_Time_Interval)
            if time_cost >= self.Time_Cost_Max:
                self.m_logger.error('Delete pod "%s" failed after waiting %d seconds', name, time_cost)
                return False
