tomplex/python-postgres repository overview

⁠python-postgres

This is a docker Ubuntu 16 baseimage with python built from source with all build optimizations. The version of Python depends on the tag you choose; 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 are supported. In this image, the Python of your choosing is aliased to python, python3, and python3.x (i.e. python3.6), so any of these commands can be used for execution. The same goes for pip; pip, pip3, and pip3.x will all install packages for the chosen Python.

It also includes the postgres 10 client & the postgres development headers you need to install psycopg2.

To use this image, run pip freeze > requirements.txt in your local python env, and then when writing your Dockerfile, use:

FROM tomplex/python-postgres:3.6

COPY requirements.txt /project_name/requirements.txt

RUN pip install -r project_name/requirements.txt

ENTRYPOINT [ "python", "my_script.py" ]

This will install all of your dependencies to the environment.

This image's Python includes the optimizations that are added when the --enable-optimizations and --with-lto flags are used in configuring a Python build.
