Hi 👋 ,

I just read the announcement that podman is getting a new API that also offers compatibility with Docker. Even though it might seem creepy since this repository is only three days old, I would like to offer my help on this. Currently, I am employed as a python developer, have some spare time soon and would like to use podman from now on. Also, since I have implemented a tool that currently uses the python library for docker quite heavily, I am willing to put some time in the podman API.

However, I have a question about this repository. As I understood it, the podman API will have a docker compatible API. Why not start by forking the official docker libraries and modifying them? There was a lot of work invested in building them, they work quite well and have no real shortcoming as far as I can tell. Especially docker-compose is a lot more advanced currently than podman-compose.

Ok, that’s all I need for now 👍🏻 I will start by compiling the latest version of podman myself to have the current version of the new API and something to test with. Then I can check against docker-py.
