The package is a copy-paste of the leader election code from the Official Python client library for kubernetes to make it compatible with it's not so official asyncio counterpart.
It has been updated to support only Python 3.7+ (since that is required for async). It also has had typing liberally applied for your convenience. 🧂
This is for demonstration purposes only.
Please check out leaderelection/example.py.
See manifest/example.yaml for a kick-start getting the example running in-cluster.
