The Dockerfile is very large

[robhaswell]

Images based off the ubuntu base image tend to be large. The Dockerfile should be based on a more minimal image.

I suggest python:2.7.

Try gliderlabs/alpine and installing Python with apk like we did here:
https://github.com/gliderlabs/python-runtime.

We've spent a ton of time with Dockerfile and image optimization while
balancing good package support. Alpine is where it's at. Otherwise, make a
custom Dockerfile based on ubuntu-debootstrap for broader package support
but smaller starting point.
