Hello,

i've a problem with version 2.3.0 when trying to get my script running. It fails on calling docker_client.containers.get(container_name):

Requests version is 2.17.3.

I ran into the same error. Tough I'm using an older version of docker-py (1.8.1) it reads like the handling of the repositories is limited. Since we activated Googles gcr.io repositories the list in \~/.docker/config.json was quite long (>10) what lead to this issue.

Never mind my comment. It turned out that I had some bad mixtures of package dependencies on my system. After creating a fresh pipenv and reinstalling docker-py everything is up and running again...

Just in case someone ends here like I ended:

pip install requests==2.11.1
