 * The "command" is an external program/container to call to run the
 * sandbox, and it depends on sandbox flavor. Pynbox is built into
 * Grist and has a hard-wired command, so the command option should be
 * empty.  For gvisor and unsandboxed, command is the path to an
 * external program to run.  For docker, it is the name of an image.
 *
 * Once python is running, ordinarily some Grist code should be
 * started by setting `useGristEntrypoint` (the only exception is
 * in tests) which runs grist/main.py.
