Geir Arne Hjelle put together this guide about how to run different Python versions using Docker, including how you can have the latest alpha running on your computer within minutes.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn:

  • Which versions of Python are available
  • How to get started with Docker
  • How to run different Python versions in Docker containers
  • How to use Docker containers as Python environments
