In this tutorial, you explain how to create Docker images and containers of simple Python programs, and how to run the containerized Python program on a local computer. The assumption is that you do not know anything about Docker, and you want to learn how to start using Docker. Later on, once you learn the basics, you will easily pick up other details about Docker.

The motivation for creating this tutorial comes from the fact that online and in books you will rarely find concise explanation on how to create minimal Docker images and containers for Python applications and programs. Students and people who are not familiar with Docker, will often have hard times understanding how to create a simple Docker image of a Python application. This is especially the case for robotics or mechanical engineering students who did not take computer science classes. Students or engineers often do not have time or patience to read 100 pages of manuals or first several chapters of books to learn something that can often be learned in 10 or 15 minutes. We observed that a number of tutorials available online are either incomplete or not written for complete beginners.
