I'd vote in favor of including the python-docker-py package for users
of Atomic Host and the Ansbile docker module. There have been more
than one instance I've been involved in where someone in IRC is
reporting that "Ansible doesn't work on Atomic Host" because they were
trying to use the docker module and their understanding was the docker
was "the way" to do things in Atomic. While kubernetes is great, I'd
prefer to offer the userbase more freedom to choose how they deploy
and manage docker containers on an Atomic Host and Ansbile seems to be
quite popular among the Atomic Host userbase (just in general, not
specifically for docker deployments) so I don't think it's an
unrealistic expectation that the Ansible docker module works out of
the box.

Just my opinion though, I'd be curious of others opinions on the topic as well.
