We need the equivalent of dev-in-a-box for setting up for testing proposed changes to bugs.python.org, but including some standard way to get it deployed so others can look at a live system running the change in order to review the patch.
Maybe it's just me and all the Docker/Rocket hoopla that's occurred over the past week, but this just screams "container" to me which would make getting a test instance set up dead simple.
It's not just you (and Graham Dumpleton has even been working on reference images for Apache/mod_wsgi hosting of Python web services: http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2014/12/hosting-python-wsgi-applications-using.html) You still end up with Vagrant as a required element for Windows and Mac OS X, but that's pretty much a given for a lot of web service development these days.
