The recommended way to get the Python Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the AWS Public ECR Gallery or from the GitHub Container Registry.

$ docker pull ghcr.io/bitcompat/python:latest

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the GitHub Registry or the available tags in the public ECR gallery.

$ docker pull ghcr.io/bitcompat/python:[TAG]

By default, running this image will drop you into the Python REPL, where you can interactively test and try things out in Python.

$ docker run -it --name python ghcr.io/bitcompat/python

The default work directory for the Python image is /app. You can mount a folder from your host here that includes your Python script, and run it normally using the python command.

$ docker run -it --name python -v /path/to/app:/app ghcr.io/bitcompat/python \
  python script.py

If your Python app has a requirements.txt defining your app's dependencies, you can install the dependencies before running your app.

$ docker run --rm -v /path/to/app:/app ghcr.io/bitcompat/python pip install -r requirements.txt
$ docker run -it --name python -v /path/to/app:/app ghcr.io/bitcompat/python python script.py
