A simple Docker HTTP API wrapper written with asyncio and aiohttp.
Installation ============
.. code-block:: sh
pip install aiodocker
Development ===========
The recommended developer setup uses uv <https://docs.astral.sh/uv/>_, which manages the virtualenv and resolves dependencies from the committed `uv.lock so every contributor and CI job builds against the same versions.
.. code-block:: sh
# Install uv first: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/ uv sync --extra dev --extra lint --extra test --extra doc uv run pre-commit install
The Makefile helpers (make develop, make install, make lint, make test) all assume uv.
Using pip instead (fallback) ~~~~~~~~
If you can't install uv, you can still bootstrap with pip. The resulting environment isn't pinned to uv.lock`, so versions may drift from CI.
.. code-block:: sh
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate pip install -U pip pip install -e '.[dev,lint,test,doc]' # in zsh, you need to escape brackets pre-commit install
Running tests ~~~~~
.. code-block:: sh
# Run all tests make test
# Run individual tests uv run pytest tests/test_images.py
Building packages ~~~~~
NOTE: Usually you don't need to run this step by yourself.
.. code-block:: sh
uv build

Examples ========
.. code-block:: python
import asyncio import aiodocker

async def main(): docker = aiodocker.Docker() await list_things(docker) await run_container(docker) await docker.close()
