pip wheel — docker 6.1.0.dev0 documentation
This command must create a wheel ... invoking Python interpreter, and save that wheel in the directory TARGET. No other build system commands are invoked by the pip wheel command. It is possible using --global-option to include additional build commands with their arguments in the setup.py command.
Anyone know a 'preferred' way to install wheels into docker containers?
Our approach is to have a wheelbuilder container with all the building dependencies etc in that image, once all wheels are built into a shared volume can be "consumed" by other containers just pointing pip to that folder. It works pretty well for us.

I am new to the Docker environment. So, sorry if asking this is a common thing. I'm using the Dockerfile below, which first uses a builder to make things with the wheel. The problem is that the More on stackoverflow.com

My Python Docker build takes hours to build.
What you should do is build PyTorch and then push it to a registry, and use that as your base image to start each build. It will save you having to rebuild it each time since it will be prebuilt inside of the base image. More on reddit.com

Smaller python docker containers | Sam's world
This final example results in a small image with uWSGI installed and without a C compiler. It relies heavily on multi-stage builds and on pip wheels. Copy the following code into a file called “Dockerfile.small”: ########################################### # Throwaway image with C compiler installed FROM python:3.6-alpine as bigimage # install the C compiler RUN apk add --no-cache linux-headers g++ # instead of installing, create a wheel RUN pip wheel --wheel-dir=/root/wheels uwsgi ########################################### # Image WITHOUT C compiler but WITH uWSGI FROM python:3.6-alpine as smallimage COPY --from=bigimage /root/wheels /root/wheels # Ignore the Python package index # and look for archives in # /root/wheels directory RUN pip install \ --no-index \ --find-links=/root/wheels \ uwsgi

r/Python on Reddit: Anyone know a 'preferred' way to install wheels into docker containers?
October 28, 2014 -
I'm tired of making bloated docker containers that include packages like python-pip and build-essential. I have a project with modules like twisted which compile things during install. What's the sane way for me to first build these modules, then copy them into the docker container? Should I be using wheels? Should I be fully installing modules then copying their paths in? Thanks for your time everyone
Edit: asking more questions :D

We package our wheels in a different build process and upload them to a private repository. I created https://github.com/sherzberg/docker-curdserver just for this use case. Curdling isn't perfect, but it is a really nice wheel repository (as well as non-wheel packages).
We still need pip in the docker container, but the wheels really speeds up the docker build and we also don't need build-essentials.

March 5, 2025 - The first stage is the base image that uses **Databricks Runtime Python 12.2-LTS*** as the base image and sets the working directory to /app. It also updates pip. *We can also build our own base image, as long as we have certain libraries installed: Build your own Docker base · The second stage is the builder image that installs Poetry, copies the application files (including pyproject.toml, poetry.lock, and README.md) and builds a wheel using Poetry.

Understanding and Utilizing Python Wheel to Speed Up Docker Builds
November 20, 2025 - A Docker build utilizing Wheel primarily involves creating Wheel files in the Builder Stage and then copying and installing them in the Final Stage. Below is a pattern for efficiently installing packages with C library dependencies. # [Stage 1] Builder: Create Wheel file FROM python:3.9-slim as builder # Install essential packages for compilation (not included in final image) RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ build-essential \ gcc \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* WORKDIR /app # Copy requirements.txt COPY requirements.txt .

August 10, 2022 - The pip wheel command in the Dockerfile can be overridden by putting a custom command in the scripts/<module_name>.sh file and setting WHEEL_BUILT_IN_SCRIPT to prevent the default command executing. The mod_depends function is called by the build system during post-checkout to fetch any required modules from this repo (falling back to PyPi if they're not found), and these dependencies will be installed before the Dockerfile begins building the module.

Native dependencies are all pinned in the Dockerfile. To update the pins, run the dedicated nox session. This will add a commit for each update. If you only want to see what would be updated, you can do a dry run: $ nox -s update_native_dependencies [-- --dry-run] An example project which builds x86_64 wheels for each Python interpreter version can be found here: https://github.com/pypa/python-manylinux-demo.

Build Robust Continuous Integration With Docker and Friends – Real Python
May 5, 2023 - When it comes to writing unit tests, it’s quite common for those in the Python community to choose pytest over the standard library’s unittest module. Thanks to the relative simplicity of pytest, this testing framework is quick to start with. Go ahead and add pytest as an optional dependency to your project: ... # pyproject.toml [build-system] requires = ["setuptools>=67.0.0", "wheel"] build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [project] name = "page-tracker" version = "1.0.0" dependencies = [ "Flask", "redis", ] [project.optional-dependencies] dev = [ "pytest", ]
