Just some commands I need for my project.

simple_docker_api.py

import requests

class DockerAPI(object):
    """ Helper for using Fleet API to deploy services to a CoreOS cluster."""

    def __init__(self, docker_endpoint):
        self.docker_endpoint = docker_endpoint

    def containers(self):
        """ Return a list of pairs with container's names and ids """
        containers = requests.get('http://%s/containers/json' % self.docker_endpoint).json()
        return [ (c['Names'][0][1:], c['Id']) for c in containers ]

    def stop(self, _id):
        """ Stop container with given id """
        res = requests.post('http://%s/containers/%s/stop' % (self.docker_endpoint, _id))
        return res.status_code

    def delete(self, _id):
        """ Delete container with given id """
        res = requests.delete('http://%s/containers/%s' % (self.docker_endpoint, _id))
        return res.status_code

    def destroy(self, _id):
        """ Stop and delete container with given id """
        self.stop(_id)
        return self.delete(_id)
