Yes, it is possible to use Docker for that.

The Dockerfile would look like this:

FROM ubuntu
MAINTAINER xxx <[email protected]>

# update ubuntu repository
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y update

# install ubuntu packages
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install python python-pip

# install python requirements
RUN pip install ...

# define a mount point
VOLUME /student.py

# define command for this image
CMD ["python","/student.py"]

Now, you have to build this image with docker build -t student_test ..

To start the script and grab the output you can use:

docker run --volume /path/to/s12345.py:/student.py student_test > student_results_12345.txt`.

The --volume parameter is needed, to mount a student script to the defined mount point. Also, you could start multiple containers at once.

All paths are relative to current working directory.
