Docker container and virtual python environment
<p>I'm getting started working with Docker. I installed Docker Toolbox on Windows 10 and downloaded the desired container. I need full access to containerâs filesystem with the ability to add and edit files. Can I transfer the contents of the container into a Virtual Python Environment in Windows filesystem? How to do it?</p>

<p>Transferring files between Windows and Linux might be a little annoying because of <a href="https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-great-newline-schism/" rel="nofollow">different line endings</a>.</p>

<p>Putting that aside, sounds like you are looking to create a Docker based development environment.  There are good tutorials online that walk you through setting one up, I would start with one of these</p>

<li><a href="https://blog.codeship.com/running-rails-development-environment-docker/" rel="nofollow">Running a Rails Development Environment in Docker</a>. This one is about Rails, but the principles will be the same. Section 3 specifically talks about about sharing code between your host machine and the Docker container.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-work-with-docker-data-volumes-on-ubuntu-14-04" rel="nofollow">How To Work with Docker Data Volumes on Ubuntu 14.04</a> includes an brief introduction to Docker containers, different use cases for <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/" rel="nofollow">data volumes</a>, and how to get each one working. <em>Sharing Data Between the Host and the Docker Container</em> section talks about what you are trying to do. This example talks about reading log files created inside the container, but the principle is the same for adding/updating files in the container.</li>
