+python-k8sclient - Kubernetes API client code
+=============================================
 
-This is Kubernetes API python client code. This code is generated by swagger-codegen. Kubernetes provide swagger-spec to generate client code for different versions. The specs live in Kubernetes repo.
+Overview
+--------
 
-Please feel here a long description which must be at least 3 lines wrapped on
-80 cols, so that distribution package maintainers can use it in their packages.
-Note that this is a hard requirement.

+Steps to generate API client code
+---------------------------------
+
+Steps to generate Kubernetes client code for v1:
+
+* Clone the Magnum repo::
+
+    git clone https://github.com/openstack/magnum.git
+
+* Clone the swagger-codegen repo. It is recommended to checkout a release
+ (e.g. v2.1.3) instead of using the master branch::
+
+    git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen.git
+    cd swagger-codegen/
+    git checkout tags/v2.1.3
+
+* Build swagger-codegen::
+
+    mvn package
+
+* Run below command to generate the API client code for Kubernetes::
+
+    cd ..
+    java -jar ./swagger-codegen/modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar \
+        generate \
+        -i ./magnum/magnum/common/pythonk8sclient/templates/v1.json \
+        -l python -o ./KubernetesClientCode
+
+Now you can check the code at location ./KubernetesClientCode.
