Description
I am trying to create a web app (a mini IDE) that user can send codes to docker to be executed.
I am able to build and run the container and get the output.
However, code with user input e.g python:
x = input("enter number")
is impossible to do.
How can I pass user input from the web UI to the docker container running this line of code? And getting the output back to the UI?
I've tried with attach and attach_stream to no avail.
Is this possible with docker?

Research direction
Start with the Docker Python client's attach and attach_stream entry points and the Docker Engine API behavior for interactive stdin and output. Determine whether the web UI can forward input to the running container and receive output, then document a supported approach or clearly state the limitation.
