dockerpty not compatible with docker 2.4.2

[cdman]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that docker-py is superseded by docker as the "official" Python Docker API binding. If so, dockerpty does not work with docker 2.4.2 and gives the following stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I had the same issue, but after trying to fix module I've found it works (at least for me) when you provide docker_client.api instead of docker_client to dockerpty.start() function (and container.id instead of container, if you have an object).
