### Forward a Kubernetes port using portforward

Source: https://portforward.readthedocs.io

Establishes a port-forwarding connection to a pod or service using a context manager. Requires a valid kubeconfig file, defaulting to $HOME/.kube/config.

```python
import requests

import portforward


def main():
    namespace = "test"
    pod_name = "web"  # You can also use a service name instead
    local_port = 9000  # from port
    pod_port = 80  # to port

    # No path to kube config provided - will use default from $HOME/.kube/config
    with portforward.forward(namespace, pod_name, local_port, pod_port):
        response = requests.get("http://localhost:9000")
        print(f"Done: \n'{response.status_code}'\n'{response.text[:20]}...'")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```
