Pythonista - the Docker image

Pythonista is a Docker image for real Python developers. That means you can find here most popular Python interpreters and test your application in all of them. The idea for the image was born when I needed to test some code in Python 2.6 environment and my workstation couldn't handle it, since Debian Jessie doesn't have Python 2.6 in its repo.

About Image

• OS - Debian 9 Stretch (testing) or CentOS 7
• CPython - 2.7.12 / 3.3.6 / 3.4.5 / 3.5.2
• PyPy - PyPy 5.4.1 (based on 2.7.10) / PyPy3 2.4.0 (based on 3.2.5)

How To Use?

Pythonista image is available on Docker Hub, so you can easily pull it by means docker client:

$ [sudo] docker pull ikalnitsky/pythonista

If you want to enter a bash session, just do it how you did it for another containers:

$ [sudo] docker run -t -i ikalnitsky/pythonista bash

and enjoy bash session within container.

Unit Tests

It's very convenient to run unit tests inside Pythonista container because you can run it using different Python interpreters. For example, with tox the command might look like:

$ [sudo] docker run -v /path/to/src/:/src -w /src ikalnitsky/pythonista tox

Build the image locally

You are also welcome to build and tweak the testing image locally using provided Dockerfiles.

To build Pythonista Docker image (by default based on Debian):
