Feature Request: some API should support image list as args

[virusdefender]

For example, you can use

docker save -o images.tar.gz docker.example.com/images/{image1,image2}:latest

to save multi docker at one time ( docker source code )

However, docker-py do not support multi images as API args.

I write one by my self,

class ImageApiMixin(object):
    ......
    def get_image(self, images):
        images_query = "?names=" + "&names=".join(images)
        res = self._get(self._url("/images/get" + images_query), stream=True)
        self._raise_for_status(res)
        return res.raw

so I can use

client.get_images([image1, image2])

to save multi images to one file.

@shin- would you need help with this? Except for the snippet above, some tests should be added and the docs updated, right? If so, I can give this a try.

Hi all,

Any movement on this? This would be really useful to me.

I have implemented saving multiple images in PR #2050, which is based on PR #1767 but with test failures fixed.

Any progress on this issue, it's useful.
