Description

[**Link to the issue (please include a link to the specific documentation or example)**:](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/blob/master/kubernetes/docs/V1ConfigMap.md)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/79b93548-eefe-46e3-bbf1-fffcf976a385)

I'm looking for a way to practically "convert" into kubernetes-client code a ConfigMap yaml file and provide it to a V1PodSpec which feeds into V1Pod; However, I've haven't found a clear cut way to execute that, for the reason of unclear documentation and many objects of V1ConfigMapsEtc that are provided in the picture.

If someone can shed some light about how I can perform the following, or point me to some existing example.

An example config map yaml here

```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: game-demo
data:
# property-like keys; each key maps to a simple value
player_initial_lives: "3"
ui_properties_file_name: "user-interface.properties"

# file-like keys
game.properties: |
enemy.types=aliens,monsters
player.maximum-lives=5
user-interface.properties: |
color.good=purple
color.bad=yellow
allow.textmode=true
```

Research direction

Start with docs/V1ConfigMap.md and the linked ConfigMap YAML example, then inspect how V1ConfigMap and V1PodSpec are represented in the client. Document a practical conversion or construction path, including the relevant object fields, and add an example showing the resulting pod usage.
