kubernetes.client.Configuration.set_default is not working as expected

[DARSHAN-THE-CODER]

What happened (please include outputs or screenshots):
configuraa = client.Configuration()
configuraa.retries = 1
client.Configuration.set_default(configuraa)
Here, I am trying to override retries value from 3 to 1.
This is from the source code ->

But I found that , you are not receiving that parameter here ->

What you expected to happen:
Expected behaviour -> User should be able to override max retry times incase cluster is not reachable
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Try to reach any cluster which doesnt exist properly from the above code
Anything else we need to know?:
After a long time, this error is printed , Which takes literally a lot of time ! and get this error message

Environment:

• Kubernetes version (kubectl version) : Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"21", GitVersion:"v1.21.14") , Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"27", GitVersion:"v1.27.9-gke.1092000"
• OS (e.g., MacOS 10.13.6): linux/amd64
• Python version (python --version) : Python 3.6.8

please try the following code:

from kubernetes import client, config

conf = client.Configuration()
conf.retries = 3
config.load_kube_config(client_configuration=conf)
client.Configuration.set_default(conf)

v1 = client.CoreV1Api()

resp = v1.read_namespaced_pod("<pod_name>", "<namespace>")
print(resp)
