Python’s import system is weird but it does make sense when you use absolute imports:

  project
  ├── main.py
  ├── package1
  │   ├── module1.py
  │   └── module2.py
  └── package2
      ├── __init__.py
      ├── module3.py
      ├── module4.py
      └── subpackage1
          └── module5.py
As long as the file containing the main() function resides in the top-level folder you can use absolute imports in every file, e.g.
  from package1 import module1
  from package1.module2 import function1
  from package2.subpackage1.module5 import function2

Docker has a concept of layered images where only the top-layer is writable. The layer above the "scratch"[1] image usually contain all the files of the base images OS and that's what you set your root directory to. The writable layer disappears when the container is stopped. If you mount your DIY container into /tmp for example, the process running inside your container won't be able to access any OS functionality. You couldn't run a web server in such a container for instance. On the other hand, whatever your containerized process writes into the mounted part of your hard disk won't disappear when the container stops. Because of that, I wouldn't run untrusted code in it.

There is an infinite amount of numbers between 0.0 and 1.0, none of them are 2.0

I recall reading that one of the reasons was the fact that "go" sounded good

1. when used as a keyword to start a "goroutine"

  go f()
2. when used from the command line for compilation etc.
  go build ...
  go get ...
