Since Docker uses the kernel of the OS it's running on, that would mean it would have to run natively on Windows. Back in January, it didn't run on Windows. Now apparently you can run a Windows 10 or Server 2016 environment in a container. I would think, given the architecture of Docker, that you can only do this on a Windows machine, not a Linux box. So the ability to containerize an application on Linux and run it anywhere Docker is installed (even MacOS) only applicable to Linux apps. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
