  <p>It confuses me that, </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>the root cause is <strong>"no module named kubernetes"</strong>?</li>
  <li>or <strong>"Failed to import the required Python library (openshift) on Python /usr/bin/python3"</strong>?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>And how to fix that? </p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>btw, </p>
