[IPython-dev] Docker IPython

[Geoff Oxberry]

In case chiming in matters, I'm vehemently opposed to conda in a base
image, because I think conda would be a great package manager if it didn't
try to do too much (as of Anaconda 1.9, it was also managing Python
version, and managing/creating virtualenvs). If it's in an "extended"
derivative image, that's fine by me. I agree that pip is more standard, and
conda is good for installing things (and only good for installing things).
