To minimize image size, it's uncommon for additional related tools (such as git or bash) to be included in Alpine-based images. Using this image as a base, add the things you need in your own Dockerfile (see the alpine image description⁠ for examples of how to install packages if you are unfamiliar).

Why we dropped Docker for Python environments
TL;DR Docker is a great tool for managing software environments, but we found that it’s just too slow, especially for exploratory data workflows where users change their Python environments frequently. We find that clusters depending on docker images often take 5+ minutes to launch. More on reddit.com

Optimizing Docker Images for Python Production Services
Get rid of poetry for uv, you will reduce you build speeds by quite a bit since poetries dependency resolver can be pretty slow in many cases. Also stop using virtualenvs inside of the container. They just waste space since the official Python images already have a dedicated "non-system" Python pre-installed in /usr/local (and it should not matter if you used the system Python really since the container should be single purpose).

Python in a container
November 3, 2021 - The Containers: Add Docker Files to Workspace... command automatically creates a Docker launch configuration to build and run your container in debug mode. To debug your Python app container: Navigate to the file that contains your app's startup code, and set a breakpoint. Navigate to Run and Debug and select Containers: Python - General, Containers: Python - Django, or Containers: Python - Flask, as appropriate. Start debugging using the F5 key. The container image builds.

The best Docker base image for your Python application (February 2026)
February 4, 2026 - The uv package installation and venv managed tool also supports downloading and installing a copy of Python when creating a virtualenv. If you do this, you are not relying on a Docker image’s Python; you can use any base image you want. Rather, the Python install comes from the Python Standalone Build project, so it will get installed via running uv in the Dockerfile. For example:

For simple single file scripts, you can run the python script using the python image with docker run. docker run -it --rm --name single-python-script -v "$PWD":/app -w /app python:3 python your-daemon-or-script.py · You can also pass some arguments to your python script. In the above example, we have mounted the current working directory, which also allows files in that directory to be passed as arguments.

September 11, 2025 - Also, depending on your stack, you can manage several programming language versions in containers of Docker: Python 3.9 and Python 3.7 for example. You can deliver your application in one piece. Most programming languages, frameworks and all operating systems have their own packaging managers. And even if your application can be packed with its native package manager, it could be hard to create a port for another system. Supporting various languages, including Python, Docker gives you a unified image format to distribute your applications across different host systems and cloud services.
