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.

How do you use python dependencies in a docker image?
How do I know which python is being used when I call this command That would depend on a few things: The shebang (the first line in the file normally) The PATH variable in the env of the running command What is installed on that container In this case, the ENTRYPOINT as that is non-default Normally I would suggest running something like: docker run -it cytopia/mypy sh However, I tried it and it didn't work for me, because they have configured a custom ENTRYPOINT, instead you can do this: docker run -it --entrypoint '/bin/sh' cytopia/mypy This gives me a shell that I can use to check out the env: /data # echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin /data # which python /usr/bin/python /data # python Python 3.10.9 (main, Dec 10 2022, 13:54:12) [GCC 11.2.1 20220219] on linux Anyway, the files they use to create the image can be found here I think (this one is for 3.10): https://github.com/cytopia/docker-mypy/blob/master/Dockerfiles/Dockerfile.python3.10 and how can I install the required dependencies to this particular python installation so mypy can run properly The normal way to do this would be to create a new DockerFile, which uses the image you want as the FROM and then adds dependencies. The image itself is based on alpine linux (a secure and lightweight focused linux often used for building small images) and so you would want to install stuff using apk I believe: FROM cytopia/mypy RUN apk add py3-pip && pip install numpy For example will create a new image with numpy installed for you I am not sure why I had to install pip... I can see it gets installed in the DockerFile and when I tried to use pip in my container, I got an error that it couldn't be found... Beware, that each time you use RUN, it creates a new layer. If you create a new layer and create a load of cache files on that layer they will make your image very big, you will want to tidy up each layer as you go (but I guess that's something you will learn as you go) You would then be able to run your previous docker run with the new image you have built with the dependencies installed More on reddit.com

February 12, 2024 - Multi-stage Docker builds allow you to break up your Dockerfiles into several stages. For example, you can have a stage for compiling and building your application, which can then be copied to subsequent stages. Since only the final stage is used to create the image, the dependencies and tools associated with building your application are discarded, leaving a lean and modular production-ready image. ... # temp stage FROM python:3.12.2-slim as builder WORKDIR /app ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1 ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1 RUN apt-get update && \ apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends gcc COPY requirements.txt .
