⁠Configuration

This docker image contains the following software stack:

• OS: Debian jessie.

⁠Why yet another Python image for Docker?

There has been quite a few Python images for Docker (e.g., search⁠ in the Docker Hub), so why reinvent the wheel?

• Base OS image - I prefer a smaller base image, e.g., debian:jessie⁠, as recommended in this article⁠.

• Unnecessary dependencies - I prefered to incorporate these stuff only when absolutely needed.

Therefore, I built this Docker image on my own, also as an exercise.

Other nice alternatives, FYI:

• google/python⁠

• crosbymichael/python⁠

• python⁠

$ docker pull williamyeh/python2
