⁠CouchDB with python query server

This image adds to official CouchDB image a python3 query server. For general information on external query servers see official documentation⁠.

Some (old, but still valid) benchmarks are here⁠. Compared to default javascript views, python ones are generally faster, sometime much faster.

View server code is based on cmlenz CouchDB-Python Library⁠, patched by me so it works on (newer) python3.

⁠Image versioning

Tags are dash-separated couchdb and couchpy versions, plus an optional +version in case of a fix/important upgrade of tagged setup.

⁠Design document example

Use python in doc's language definition and you can define map/reduce functions in python!
