Just to be clear, I wasn't meaning to promote or recommend the Docker option I described. I was just throwing it out there as an additional option to consider because I didn't see it listed in the Google doc in the form I had in mind. It could very well be too heavyweight -- I understand that downside. I don't have a good enough sense of what the deployments look like to evaluate the trade-offs one way or the other. --Chris -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- distutils-sig@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to distutils-sig-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mm3/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/mm3/archives/list/distutils-sig@python.org/message/7VTAW5QE7KWOSPLV5BOVLQOQ3UMDVGC6/
