Setting A Dockerized Python Environment - The Elegant Way

This repo provides the code examples for this medium article. This includes the following three examples:

• Basic settings - a simple example of the devcontainers.json settings using the image argument to launch a dockerized session with the python:3.10 image
• Build settings - extending the first example by using the build argument to build the image from a Dockerfile
• Customization settings - adding to the previous example the customizations argument to set the default Python interpreter and define the extension settings
