Inclusion of Docker

[mjsisley]

It seems that the usage of Docker for development and production may fit somewhere within this awesome guide.

Thoughts?

Maybe Docker is not a topic of best practices with Python.

I may be wrong... :)

@gutierri I'm not sure. After all there are sections that are not directly related to Python development. Puppet, chef and the like comes to mind.

Docker could be a useful addition but I can't fathom how deeply it should be explained. A short entry similar to Chef's entry could be good.

Best practices of running Python in Docker would definitely be useful, imho.

[gutierri]

@canibanoglu I'm confused about it... If someone has a presentation of some related content would be better for us to discuss it.

[mjsisley]

Cookiecutter-Django has docker-compose files for development and production and docs on how to use them... though that may be too detailed

I agree with @canibanoglu and think that similar treatment to Chef/Puppet could make sense.

Other uses of / references for Docker:

• Python Base Images
• build packages in a pristine env for deployment – Building Debian Packages in Docker
• similar thing with wheel building (also: build wheels for multiple platforms / distros / releases) – Wheel Builder for Alpine
• demo your software (mybinder!)
