Python 3.12 development container image

Description

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, open-source programming language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, high-level dynamic data types, and classes. It provides interfaces to many system calls, libraries, and various window systems, and it is extensible in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language for applications that require programmable interfaces.

Usage

To deploy an application, install dependencies, copy the sources, and configure the application's main script:

FROM registry.suse.com/bci/python:3.12

WORKDIR /app

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

COPY . .

CMD [ "python3", "./main-script.py" ]

Build and run the container image:

$ podman build -t my-python-app .
$ podman run -it --rm my-python-app

To run a single script inside a container, use the following command:

$ podman run --rm -v "$PWD":/app:Z -w /app registry.suse.com/bci/python:3.12 python3 script.py

Additional tools

The Python container image includes pip, pipx, Python Development Headers, and Git.
