Hello there,  
While building docker image through docker python api I stuck in an error.  
I am trying to COPY a file from local to container image.  
ADD supervisor.conf /etc/

It worked completely fine without using docker python api.  
While python it automatically add a path var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builderxxxxxxxxx in front of given path and then result in a output no such file or directory found.’

I am building using -

cli = Client(base\_url=‘unix://var/run/docker.sock’)  
response = [line for line in cli.build(fileobj=f, rm=True, tag=fullImageName)]
