A container is a shit way to package something.
It's not a solution it's a response.
It's "This thing makes no attempt to be portable or coordinate with the rest of the world, so the only way to package it is to include a copy of it's own entire world."
There is no excuse for a python script to be a hothouse flower.
It's one thing to choose to containerize something for your own operational reasons, but something else entirely for something to be so fragile that thst's the only way it even works is just you need a copy of the devs laptop.
