Description

Hi

I am trying to run a container with access to only a single GPU on a multi GPU machine. It seems --gpus has not been implmeneted in docker-py. It would be fantastic if we could have this feature!

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by checking docker-py's existing container-run options and Docker Engine API support for GPU device requests. Define how a single device number should be represented, then add focused coverage; done means a container can request access only to the selected GPU.
