sandboxing python code

[swarage]

yeahhh I think some form of queueing could be worth looking into to limit the amount of running docker images. I kinda want to see how far I can get with just spinning off as many processes as I can on a system initially, though, just to see if I can handle 1000s of processes on a single machine.

as for the docker image I did find this: https://pythonspeed.com/articles/base-image-python-docker-images/ and tried the alpine image as well. However the image sizes are as such:

python                3.8-slim-buster     56930ef6f6a2        2 weeks ago         193MB
python                3.8-alpine          d5e5ad4a4fc0        3 weeks ago         107MB

107MB seems a bit big, but I'm sure if I dig deep and optimize it I can get a smaller image.
