python nanoserver image?

[StefanScherer]

After golang has official images based on nanoserver, I'm looking for a python image based on microsoft/nanoserver.

I've done some first investigations in https://github.com/StefanScherer/dockerfiles-windows/pull/61, but pip does not work yet as shown in https://ci.appveyor.com/project/StefanScherer/dockerfiles-windows/build/1.0.135

Nice initial work! :smile: :+1:

My Python-fu isn't as great as it ought to be, but that error in pip looks like more of a Python error than a pip error, right? (ie, potentially other Python applications would have the same failure?)

I took a slightly different approach that uses a 'side-loaded' full install instead of downloading and installing the embedded version. This install supports pip:

@LBates2000 Thanks you. So it proves that only some files are missing. I thought about registry keys as Python looks there, too.
