python-dev: A Docker-in-Docker inspired develpoment container for Python projects

python-dev is a Docker image inspired by Docker's [Docker-in-Docker|https://docs.docker.com/samples/docker/] development container used for developing the Docker project. The python-dev is focused on supporting Python 3 development data science related projects but should be easily reusable for other Python projects.

Image Contents

• Jupyter
• Matplotlib
• Pandas
• scikit-learn
• Flask
• Flask-SQLAlchemy

Running

Start the container in the background by running:

docker run -d --name python-dev python-dev tail -f /dev/null

You can then access the shell in the container through

docker exec -it python-dev /bin/bash
