Run python script with docker

So I started playing with docker and asked myself whether it would be possible to run a python script with docker. Well, answer is yes. Example of the script below.

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
print "Running script!!"
print sys.version_info

Execution below:

docker run -it --rm --name pythonscript -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp python:2 python script.py
Running script!!
sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=13, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
