LGTM I compared this to the suggested build environment list for pyenv https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/wiki#suggested-build-environment
The only one not listed here was curl but I guess that's installed elsewhere

I'm going to try deploying this in prod and see what Sentry shows for user errors... but again, probably we should move forward with this, and then add back missing packages as needed in a follow-on PR to dependabot-core/python/Dockerfile Lines 128 to 143 in 51b268a |
Now that we've stopped compiling Python from source and instead download/copy a pre-compiled version, there's no need to install these apt packages. A few may be needed for users to build python deps written in native C, but those shouldn't be listed in this section, they should be added later in the the Dockerfile where we already list other packages needed for that: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/blob/51b268a81a983c6547af4d95768218a03bd8e751/python/Dockerfile#L128-L143 Also, it's unclear which of these would be needed, so let's start by removing these, and then as needed can add back the couple that we actually discover are needed.
