Dancing with Docker, trying to wrap a Django app in a container in a *nice way*. Like, not having dev dependencies in the runtime image, but still being able to test things.
It's still too fragile and feels too much like a research. It has to have been solved by now…
@grainloom it's not Docker that's lacking here, it's #Python tooling. Like, there's no official straightforward way to build and test your project and then take out only the parts that are needed in run-time. There are *ways* to do it, but I haven't found the one that wouldn't suck.
Mostly #Python people don't bother and just wrap the entire working directory with everything in it.

Please help improving #pyinstaller's #Django support and you will get what you are seeking for.

@isagalaev Would Nix or Guix help with that?
