Python precompiled ready-to-copy docker images

This project aims to daily build docker images published on Docker Hub with the latest Python 3.x versions (3.6+).

Daily CI builds are pushed on Docker Hub

How it works

The CI github workflow runs update.py, which finds the latest Python 3.x versions (the latest patch for each minor), builds the relative image and publishes it under giacomofurlan/python-precompiled:v3.x.y.

The flow continues pushing all the images to docker hub.

Docker images

The produced images have a default entrypoint (/entrypoint.sh) which will copy the files in the given directory

Example usate

Copy to host directory

PYTHON_VERSION="3.9.4" # See the image tags for a complete list
docker run --rm -ti \
  --volume "$(pwd)/python":/opt/out
  giacomofurlan/python-precompiled:v${PYTHON_VERSION} \
  /opt/out

Copy to a shared volume

docker volume create python-3.9.4

docker run --rm -ti \
  --volume python-3.9.4:/opt/out \
  giacomofurlan/python-precompiled:v3.9.4 \
  /opt/out

docker run --rm -ti \
  --volume python-3.9.4:/opt/AppDir/usr
  my_image \
  my_command

docker volume rm python-3.9.4

Use as base image and copy the compiled files somewhere useful

FROM giacomofurlan/python-precompiled:v3.9.4

# Prepare an AppDir of an AppImage
RUN mkdir -p /opt/AppDir/usr \
  && /entrypoint.sh /opt/AppDir/usr

# Alternative
RUN mkdir -p /opt/AppDir/usr \
  && cp -r /opt/python/3.9.4/* /opt/AppDir/usr/

# Files are in /opt/python/{major}.{minor}.{patch}
# There are symlinks to it:
# - /opt/python/3.{minor}
# - /opt/python/3
