Cannot use a parameter variable when running docker commands

[subcan]

I have spent several hours trying to get the following example working

import docker

client = docker.from_env()

# using a list of image strings formatted "<registry>:<image>:<tag>"
for image in images:
    container_id = client.containers.create(image)

This results with the following error:
ERROR - 400 Client Error for http+docker://localhost/v1.48/containers/create: Bad Request ("invalid reference format")

but if I put the exact image string in place of the variable image in the above client.containers.create(image) then it works fine.

I need to be able to iterate through images for my purpose and it seems funny that I have to hard code the parameters used by API?

Any help or advice is appreciated, if this is currently possible

Could you share list of images that you are trying and facing this issue? I am not able to reproduce this issue

@Khushiyant ... thanks for the reply... since you were not able to reproduce, I went back to the drawing board and discovered that the list that I am iterating through was created by the output from a subprocess stdout, and each image had quotes like this '”registry/path/to/image:v1.1.0"'
which then created the error.
I stripped the quotes with variable.strip('"') and it then worked.
To me this should be fixed. The function arguments should strip quotes automatically, so that the end user doesn't need to think about it.

That's good to hear, could you please close this issue if any further discussion is not required? As for striping the quotes, it is best suited upto user as anyone can different requirements for string striping the particular symbol
