while i agree this is overly complex given the simplicity of virtualenvs, there is something “pythonic” about encapsulating the environment in a container. I would suggest using alpine containers with python for a ~40mB container, versus the ~900MB container created here to run a server. For me, python containers are only used when I want to bundle things into services on swarm, and I use venvs for local development.
