hail python docker environment

Note

Built from latest hail master https://github.com/hail-is/hail. When hail cuts or tags a release we'll start tracking it.

Image

https://hub.docker.com/r/shusson/pyhail/ (this image is old, if I get some time I'll rebuild it off the latest Hail release, but for now I recommend building your own image)

Examples

Start interactive shell, create hail context and import sample vcf

docker run -it -v /path/to/sample/data:/usr/work -w /usr/work shusson/pyhail
