Docker has been mentioned a couple of times but no one has referenced one of the biggest wins of Docker which is it lets you quickly get up and running for things that your Python app might be using in addition to Python itself. If we're talking about web development with Python typically that means PostgreSQL and Redis too, and probably running Celery in addition to a web server such as gunicorn. It's really nice to be able to just run a single Docker Compose command and be up and running in a way that works the same on Windows, MacOS and Linux.
