Introduction

XD Docker is a Python library for accessing services providing a Docker Remote API compatible interface (ie. Docker Engine and Docker Swarm), built on top of the Requests library.

The primary goal of XD Docker is to provide a stable, easy-to-use and Pythonic API for writing applications that use Docker Remote API. When this is achieved, more advanced features might be added on top of it.

XD Docker is compatible with Python 3.4 and newer, and Docker Remote API version 1.14 and newer. Support for older Python versions should be possible (patches are welcome). Support for older Docker Remote API versions should also be possible, but the current integration test cannot supported these due to Docker HUB not supporting older clients, so official support in XD Docker is not likely.
