Docker Python Lab Generator

What This Skill Does

Generates interactive Python lab blocks for MkDocs pages in the learning-python textbook (or any MkDocs project following the same pattern). Each lab shows a code editor, Run and Reset buttons, and an output area. Code runs inside a fresh, isolated Docker container via a local HTTP service on port 5001.

This is the Docker counterpart to the Skulpt lab pattern — same look and feel, but students run real Python (not browser-emulated Python) with access to the full standard library and third-party packages.

Prerequisites: Shared Infrastructure

Before generating any lab block, make sure the shared files exist. Check once per session; skip if already in place.
