Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, open-source programming language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high level dynamic data types, and classes. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various window systems, and is extensible in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. Finally, Python is portable: it runs on many Unix variants, on the Mac, and on Windows 2000 and later.
Dockerfile
in your Python app projectFROM mips64le/python:3
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
CMD [ "python", "./your-daemon-or-script.py" ]
or (if you need to use Python 2):
FROM mips64le/python:2
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
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 mips64le/python:3 python your-daemon-or-script.py
or (again, if you need to use Python 2):
$ docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp mips64le/python:2 python your-daemon-or-script.py
In the non-slim variants there will be an additional (distro-provided) python
executable at /usr/bin/python
(and/or /usr/bin/python3
) while the desired image-provided /usr/local/bin/python
is the default choice in the $PATH
. This is an unfortunate side-effect of using the buildpack-deps
image in the non-slim variants (and many distribution-provided tools being written against and likely to break with a different Python installation, so we can't safely remove/overwrite it).
The mips64le/python
images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
mips64le/python:<version>
This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.
Some of these tags may have names like bookworm in them. These are the suite code names for releases of Debian and indicate which release the image is based on. If your image needs to install any additional packages beyond what comes with the image, you'll likely want to specify one of these explicitly to minimize breakage when there are new releases of Debian.
This tag is based off of buildpack-deps
. buildpack-deps
is designed for the average user of Docker who has many images on their system. It, by design, has a large number of extremely common Debian packages. This reduces the number of packages that images that derive from it need to install, thus reducing the overall size of all images on your system.
mips64le/python:<version>-slim
This image does not contain the common Debian packages contained in the default tag and only contains the minimal Debian packages needed to run mips64le/python
. Unless you are working in an environment where only the mips64le/python
image will be deployed and you have space constraints, we highly recommend using the default image of this repository.
When using this image pip install
will work if a suitable built distribution is available for the Python distribution package being installed. pip install
may fail when installing a Python distribution package from a source distribution. This image does not contain the Debian packages required to compile extension modules written in other languages. Possible solutions if a pip install
fails include:
pip install
.pip install
s should be successful without additional header/development Debian packages.View license information for Python 2 and Python 3.
As with all Docker images, these likely also contain other software which may be under other licenses (such as Bash, etc from the base distribution, along with any direct or indirect dependencies of the primary software being contained).
Some additional license information which was able to be auto-detected might be found in the repo-info
repository's python/
directory.
As for any pre-built image usage, it is the image user's responsibility to ensure that any use of this image complies with any relevant licenses for all software contained within.
