Description

In order for me to use this in tornado and other asynchronous frameworks, I either have to make direct calls to the Docker API (using an async http client) or wrap a threadpool executor around this.

I'd like to see if there's a way for us to provide both a synchronous and asynchronous version of docker-py.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify which synchronous APIs need asynchronous counterparts and which framework or future abstraction is required; done would mean an agreed scope and acceptance criteria for both interfaces.
