docker-py login doesn't save credentials to $HOME/.docker/config.json

See original GitHub issue

docker-py (1.8.0)
Python 2.7.6
Docker version 1.10.3, build 20f81dd

The docker login cli saves the creds to $HOME/.docker/config.json. This api call doesn’t seem to do the same. Not that familiar with docker-py, does it save the creds in the object? How does it work exactly?

In the docker-py docs supposedly they are identical except for being non-interactive.

why couldn’t docker-py’s login function simply have a persist parameter, which, on success, writes the authentication out to `$HOME/.docker/config.json? Seems simple enough.

@shin- Is this still the case with docker-py?

I see a parameter on the login method for the docker config file, but when I pass the path it does not seem to write anything to the file.
