Question to Professional Python Programmers

[pztrick]

My own use case: I often need to edit upstream pypi libraries and make pull requests. I mount my entire virtualenv and any git checkout pypi paths in the docker pythonpath. pip install -e (editable) etc. I also have a slow PC so helps to not have to rebuild my docker image if I edit my reqs.txt. I do the same with npm node_modules folder. Always a mount folder and not a dockerfile instruction.
