How to use it with Python bindings?

[qxang]

Hi, it is great docker image, but can you provide one example for it with python bindings? Thank you.

Hi,
This image does not include mapnik python binding.
But you can use jawg/mapnik3 as a base image for a python binding.

There are some informations in mapnik/python-mapnik branch v3.0.x repository for the installation.

I see. Thank you very much.

Had to do this. Here's how to follow @Joxit suggestion:

FROM jawg/mapnik3:3.1

ENV PYTHON_BINDINGS=" \
    autoconf \
    apache2-dev \
    libtool \
    libxml2-dev \ 
    libbz2-dev \
    libgeos-dev \ 
    libgeos++-dev \
    gdal-bin \
    python3 \
    python3-pip \
    python3-mapnik \ 
    python3-psycopg2 \
    python3-yaml"

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        $PYTHON_BINDINGS

Build the image:

docker build --tag mycontainers/mapnik3_python .

Then startup/run mapnik, e.g:

docker run --rm \
    --volume $(pwd)/data-test:/data-test \
    --volume ~/.fonts:/fonts \
    --volume $(pwd)/mapnik-docker-test:/mapnik-test \
    --volume $(pwd)/output:/output \
    docker.io/mycontainers/mapnik3_python \
    /bin/bash -c "python3 /mapnik-test/tagmap_xml.py"

I have added the Dockerfile here.
