docker-py installation breaks docker-compose

im not quite sure if this is correct, but trying to install docker-py through pip after i’ve installed docker-compose breaks docker-compose with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/docker-compose", line 7, in <module>
    from compose.cli.main import main
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/compose/cli/main.py", line 20, in <module>
    from ..bundle import get_image_digests
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/compose/bundle.py", line 13, in <module>
    from .network import get_network_defs_for_service
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/compose/network.py", line 7, in <module>
    from docker.types import IPAMConfig
ImportError: cannot import name IPAMConfig

To fix that error, i just need to do the installations in this order:

pip install docker-py
pip install docker-compose

python/pip versions tried:

docker run -it python:2.7.13 bash -c 'pip --version'
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
docker run -it python:2.7.12 bash -c 'pip --version'
pip 8.1.2 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

apparently my proposed fix doesnt quite work as its breaking docker-py.

instead of @aboutlo sulution, downgrating docker-compose to 1.9.0 also fixes the problem

For those coming here because they are investigating this issue as a result of using ansible, you can no longer install docker-compose via pip and also use the ansible docker module together, which requires docker-py.

Our workaround was to not use the ansible docker module (unfortunately), and instead use docker directly.
