Well, the place to get a python Docker image listed would be
https://hub.docker.com/_/python/. That's the first google hit for python
docker, and it already has a host of images available. How does yours
differ from those? It sounds like it is by having multiple versions
and tox so you can test your library/ap against multiple Python
versions using a single container. That does sound useful :)
But, be careful with names. "official Python Docker image" sounds like
what one would use when one wants to *run* a python application in a docker
container, which is what the images that are currently listed on the
page mentioned above seem directed at.
