#This provides help to users of the container

A base Ubuntu Singularity container with a basic Python installation and the "translate" package
To run the example script:
>singularity run <image_name>.img"

Or to run python on your own external script:
>singularity exec <image_name>.img python <your_script_name>.py
which is equivalent to running "python [arguments]"

%test
# Sanity check that the container is operating
# Check python version
    /usr/bin/python --version
