Shiny! You'll get extra bonus points for not running as root. :)

I'm curious, what is the reason of compiling CPython yourself? Ubuntu
has the deadsnakes project. Fedora has packages for Python 3.3, 3.4, and
3.5.

Could I convince you to put some builds of OpenSSL and LibreSSL into the
container, too? Ubuntu 16.04 has only OpenSSL 1.0.2. A while ago I added
a script to CPython that downloads, compiles and installs multiple
versions in a shared directory (../multissl relative to cpython
checkout). The script can be used to run the SSL test suites (ssl,
asyncio, urllib, smtp, ...) against all installed versions.
