Why isn't there an equivalent feature to `docker run --rm` ?

[ironhouzi]

Having to manually remove the container requires async handling in order to wait for the container to stop. This isn't a big problem, but it would seem so much more intuitive and simple to just provide an rm=True parameter to create_container().

It's not part of the API - it's a feature of the docker client. This has been discussed at length before: #77 #330 #870 #890

The rm option was actually just moved to the server side: moby/moby#20848

It will be in the engine 1.13 release, so API version 1.25. It's possible docker-py my be able to support it in the 1.10 release
