colesbury/python-nogil repository overview

⁠Overview

This is a docker image of a modified version of Python 3.9 that supports running without the global interpreter lock (GIL). See https://github.com/colesbury/nogil⁠.

The images is based on Debian Bullseye.

⁠How to use this image

⁠Create a Dockerfile in your Python app project

FROM colesbury/python-nogil

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

CMD [ "python", "./your-daemon-or-script.py" ]

You can then build and run the Docker image:

$ docker build -t my-python-app .
$ docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-python-app

⁠Run a single Python script

For many simple, single file projects, you may find it inconvenient to write a complete Dockerfile. In such cases, you can run a Python script by using the Python Docker image directly:

$ docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp colesbury/python-nogil python your-daemon-or-script.py
