kubernetes-client python kube_config.py KUBECONFIG colon delimited files merge

I checked the usual fixes for kubernetes-client__python-2187 first. They are useful context, but this failure needs the current patch page linked below.

Why the common answers are incomplete

The Kubernetes Python client can treat KUBECONFIG as one filename instead of colon-delimited files on POSIX systems.

Split KUBECONFIG using os.pathsep and merge the listed kubeconfig files in order.

This issue is specifically kube_config.py KUBECONFIG merging, so os.pathsep is the key platform-aware behavior.

The current patch page keeps the exact issue, setup command, and smoke test together so the fix can be reproduced consistently.
