What is Python

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C. The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.

How to use this image

Create a Dockerfile in your python app project.

FROM python:3
ADD . /usr/src/myapp
WORKDIR /usr/src/myapp
CMD [ "python", "./your-daemon-or-script.py" ]

or (if you need to use Python 2):

FROM python:2
ADD . /usr/src/myapp
WORKDIR /usr/src/myapp
CMD [ "python", "./your-daemon-or-script.py" ]

Then build and run the docker image.

docker build -t my-python-app
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-python-app

Run a single python script.

For many single file projects, it may not be convenient to write a Dockerfile for your project. In such cases, you can run a python script by using the python docker image directly.

docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v $(pwd):/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp python:3 python your-daemon-or-script.py

or (again, if you need to use Python 2):

docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v $(pwd):/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp python:2 python your-daemon-or-script.py

Issues and Contributing

We are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to process them as fast as possible. Not sure if that typo is worth a pull request? Do it! We will appreciate it.

If your pull request is not accepted on the first try, don't be discouraged! If there's a problem with the implementation, hopefully you received feedback on what to improve.

We recommend discussing your plans through a GitHub issue before starting to code - especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give feedback on your design, and maybe point out if someone else is working on the same thing.

Any significant improvement should be documented as a GitHub issue before anybody starts working on it. Please take a moment to check that an issue doesn't already exist documenting your bug report or improvement proposal. If it does, it never hurts to add a quick "+1" or "I have this problem too". This will help prioritize the most common problems and requests.

Conventions

Fork the repository and make changes on your fork in a feature branch.

Update this documentation when creating or modifying features. Test your documentation changes for clarity, concision, and correctness.

Pull requests descriptions should be as clear as possible and include a reference to all the issues that they address.

Commit messages should start with a capitalized and short summary (max. 50 chars) written in the imperative, followed by an optional, more detailed explanatory text which is separated from the summary by an empty line.

Code review comments may be added to your pull request. Discuss, then make the suggested modifications and force push amended commits to your feature branch. Be sure to post a comment after pushing. The changed commits will show up in the pull request automatically, but the reviewers will not be notified unless you comment.

Before the pull request is merged, make sure that you squash your commits into logical units of work using git rebase -i and git push -f. Include documentation changes in the same commit so that a revert would remove all traces of the feature or fix.

Commits that fix or close an issue should include a reference like Closes #XXXX or Fixes #XXXX, which will automatically close the issue when merged.
