Short Description¶
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, open-source programming language.
What is Python ?¶
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.
How to use this image¶
Create a Dockerfile in your Python app project
FROM 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" ]
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 python:3 python your-daemon-or-script.py
