I would like this project to have a Dockerfile. On my wish list would be the following:
container has full Pandashells install
container shares a directory with host machine
Enable the container to send X graphics to the host machine.
I want this command to pop open an interactive gui plot:
``p.linspace 0 10 10 | p.plot -x x -y x --names x``
I haven't been able to find best practices for docker containers and graphics. There could be some trickery getting this to play nicely with boot2docker on osx and windows though. I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to pull this off, as it would give windows users the full experience. (Note, I don't own a windows machine, so wouldn't be able to test it myself)

Here are some resources on how to pull this off
