Hello,

I have a docker image I created that uses pybind11 and other packages like python3-pip. The docker image is fully functional and I had the following question.

**Question** : Is it possible to take this docker image and package it on pypi ([https://pypi.org/](https://pypi.org/))? Therefore I could have it set globally and if anyone else wanted to download the package to their own machine, it would function accordingly. So the user would simply do **“pip3 install [package-name]”**?

Let me know, maybe I might be wording the question incorrectly since I am new to this area.

Thank You.
