Feature Request: Add docker cli cmd interface to docker-py

See original GitHub issue

It would be quite useful to have docker-py accept a user’s command line (just like would have been typed on a bash prompt) and be able to run the equivalent api calls in docker-py. I know this is quite a task and not easily implemented. I just wonder if other people think it would be a good idea.

LVM implements something similar in its liblvm library via an lvm2_run() function. Example here: r = lvm2_run(handle, "vgs --noheadings vg1");

Please feel free to close if this is outside the scope of the library.

I’m not sure this makes sense as a docker-py addition. That’s mostly because I’m not clear on the use cases - but even if they are valid, it seems like having it as a separate tool would be fine.

Agreed this doesn’t make sense as part of docker-py, but would make a great 3rd party project! Closing this now as there seems to be consensus on this from the maintainers.
