I don't think that a Docker image would make local development any easier. I also don't see how that is implied by the reddit post and it's comments. Looking through the posts, I agree with the assessment, that most people currently lean towards a microservice architecture and therefore towards flask. For whatever reason, people tend to think you can't build a performant microservice with Django. Anyways, deploying Python applications has always been somewhat difficult. Especially for people coming over from PHP that are used to a LAMP stack.
I think it would be great if Django's documentation would not go so much into the details of WSGI, but give a couple of google example on how to deploy to Heroku, DigitalOcean and the likes of it.
