An evolving set of files that can be used to create a dev-container to satisfy
our Python development with Visual Studio Code. Just put these files into
your workspace .devcontainer directory and VS Code should do the rest.
We recommend that you place these files in your workspace folder rather than the repository clone/project folder. Why? We have lots of repositories that share this configuration and although requirements may vary a little from one source to another having one dev-container configuration is (at the moment) better than than repeating it 20 or 30 times across all our repositories!

The above creates an image with the user "vscode" and the following tools installed (amongst others): -
- python (3.13 debian)
- poetry (1.8)
- pre-commit (4.2)
- ansible (11.8)
- kubectl (1.31)
- popeye (0.22)
- Docker-in-Docker
NOTE You need a directory ~/k8s-config on your local machine. The
Dev-Container expects this. This is where we put all our kubernetes cluster
config files and it wil lbe mounted into the DevContainer as /k8s-config.
A postCreateCommand is used to fix volume permissions of the command-history file when you first start the dev-container. This allows command history to persist between containers. You'll see a few messages ending with Done. Press any key to close the terminal.. Hit any key and you'll be good-to-go.
Separate branches of this repository will be maintained for each active Major/Minor Python version used in our Projects. So you'll find a 3.13 branch for our Python 3.13 projects.
