kubernetes.client.AuthenticationV1TokenRequest() fails

[jhourque]

What happened (please include outputs or screenshots):
In documentation, the example given for api create_namespaced_service_account is not working due to:
body = kubernetes.client.V1ServiceAccount()

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "t.py", line 87, in
body = kubernetes.client.AuthenticationV1TokenRequest() # AuthenticationV1TokenRequest |
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/kubernetes/client/models/authentication_v1_token_request.py", line 70, in init
self.spec = spec
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/kubernetes/client/models/authentication_v1_token_request.py", line 160, in spec
raise ValueError("Invalid value for spec, must not be None") # noqa: E501
ValueError: Invalid value for spec, must not be None

(Nota: code indentation id wrong, but the issue is still there even while fixing it)

What you expected to happen:
The call to create_namespaced_service_account should work but the example is stuck before this call

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Copy paste example given : https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/blob/master/kubernetes/docs/CoreV1Api.md#create_namespaced_service_account_token
(adapt code to be connect to your cluster)

Anything else we need to know?:
I made a test with api list_namespace and list_namespaced_service_account they don't require call to AuthenticationV1TokenRequest and they are working well.

I presume that spec parameter should be set but I don't know what to set without a good example.

Environment:

• Kubernetes version (kubectl version): 1.29
• OS (e.g., MacOS 10.13.6): Linux (amazon linux EC2)
• Python version (python --version) 3.7
• Python client version (pip list | grep kubernetes) 26.1.0

I found the solution. We need to add body with audience and expiration_seconds:
spec = kube.client.V1TokenRequestSpec(audiences=['https://kubernetes.default.svc'], bound_object_ref=None, expiration_seconds=<expiration in seconds>) body = kube.client.AuthenticationV1TokenRequest(spec=spec) response = api_instance.create_namespaced_service_account_token(name=name, namespace=ns, body=body)

It also would be nice to explain that name is the service account name.
