Thanks for the reply Robert. Is docker any different in this respect ie; ability to call win32 APIs of the host OS? Packaging my scripts as a docker image is very convenient..

@s3kv Sorry but I am not familiar with the Windows version of Docker and Windows based docker images. I still don't see the necessity for any virtualization or container system just to run a Python script on Windows.

no problem. To be more specific, my client machine doesn't have python installed, so I need to a way to package my scripts along with a python runtime to make it easier for non-technical clients to be able to install my package. Docker is one of the options I am considering for this. If docker does not work I will move on to other options like creating a windows exe which installs a python runtime and then run my scripts.
