In plain words

Sidomo is a Python development tool that lets developers import and run Docker containers directly from Python code. It enables Python applications to interact with software written in other languages or legacy systems by containerizing them and calling them as modules. This solves interoperability challenges when standard integration techniques are impractical, allowing any application that runs on Linux to be instantly accessible from Python.

From the sources

Docker containers are awesome for isolating applications from each other, but what if you want them to talk to each other? For instance, if you're developing an app in python that needs to interact with software written in another language. There are a few techniques for achieving low-level interoperability between Python and other popular languages. But if you have a weird case , or some complex legacy software, this becomes difficult or impossible. We created sidomo - Simple Docker Module so that if you can get your weirdo app to run in any linux environment, then you can instantly call it from Python with zero added effort. Right now most people use the Docker Daemon API to manage…from blog.deepgram.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
