Research direction

Start with issue #1084 and review the guide's existing section structure and contribution guidance; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Determine the intended scope for Python-and-Docker guidance and whether it belongs in the guide, then consider the work done when a reviewed Docker section is published.

Description

I came here as I was looking for similar to: Node.js Best Practices but for Python and github surfaced this in the search results.

I notice this Guide lacks a Docker section. Is this something that could be incorporated?
