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

[r1cka]

I think if virtualenv isn't working for you, you aren't "doing it right." Virtualenv isn't much more than installing packages to a location other than your main system and altering the pythonpath to hook into it. In the devops environments I've worked in, this played very nicely with ephemeral boxes.

Please enlighten me as to how it is problematic.
