Docker for Python

Note

Some Python versions may cause errors related to missing specific archives. This issue can be resolved with a minor change in tgz archive.

A Dockerfile that attempts to install the Python 3.x distribution from all available versions listed on https://www.python.org/ftp/python/. It downloads the source code from the website and installs it locally using the make command.

To see all available versions, run:

python python_versions.py

Development

To set the desired Python version, specify it in the Dockerfile (the default version is 3.12.0):

ARG PYTHON_VERSION='<python-version>'

or it can be passed while building the image

Build docker image:

docker build -t py-dev .

Run container in interactive mode:

docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/usr/src/app py-dev
