Docker nodes

Nodes in Docker swarm

Don't use the constructor directly. Instead use 

from python_on_whales import docker

my_docker_image = docker.node.inspect("my-node-name")

list_of_nodes = docker.node.list()

For type hints, use this

from python_on_whales import Node

def print_state(node: Node):
    print(node.status.state)

Attributes

It attributes are the same that you get with the command line: docker node inspect ...

To get a complete description of those attributes, you can take a look at the daemon api reference page and click on "200 No error".

An example is worth many lines of descriptions.
