docker.from_env() causes TypeError: load_config() got an unexpected keyword argument 'config_dict'

[w7089]

After upgrading docker to Server Version: 17.12.0-ce and docker-py to 3.0.1

Getting error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/client.py", line 81, in from_env
**kwargs_from_env(**kwargs))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/client.py", line 38, in init
self.api = APIClient(*args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/api/client.py", line 110, in init
config_dict=self._general_configs
TypeError: load_config() got an unexpected keyword argument 'config_dict'

When using simple call

import docker
c = docker.from_env()

Is it a known bug?
What version of docker-py is compatible with docker17.12.0-ce ?

Regards

P.S. downgrading to docker-py2.7 solves the issue

That's quite odd - config_dict is a valid argument for load_config in 3.x, so there's no reason that error should happen.

Is it possible you have different versions of the package interfering with one another, maybe inside / outside a virtualenv?

I am running into the same problem. I had to downgrade to docker-py2.7. Currently using docker Version 17.12.0-ce-mac49

I fixed it by removing python and python packages and re-installing python. Installing the legacy docker-py package appears to cause issues when installed along the latest docker package.

Yes, different versions caused an issue on my machine. I had to remove python and re-install it.

I am getting the same error in a pipenv virtualenv

UPDATE:

Downgrading to docker==2.7.0 using pipenv install "docker<3" solves the issue

[shin-]

Fixed in 3.1.3

#1968

Have the same issue still with docker 3.3.0

You probably have old artifacts messing up your imports. Remove all docker and docker-py packages (inside/outside virtualenv) then reinstall.
