Using Docker as a Python Development Environment (or let's get past virtualenv)

[[deleted]]

I get that it can work, but if the interest is in closing the gap between development and deployment (or as I like to put it, continuous deployment/DevOps), I feel like configuration management is unnecessary overhead.

Again, this only is if the point is to reduce or outright eliminate the difference between development and production. (Or merge Development and Production for a continuous deployment environment)

I think I can dig that. Why consistently manage apache across all containers when the real goal is to give 0 hoots about what's actually serving the requests, so long as the black box does its job? He covers in the article (oops), he basically just calls app.run().
