Why use Bitnami Images?
- Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
- With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
- Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
- Bitnami images are built on CircleCI and automatically pushed to the Docker Hub.
- All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading linux distribution.

Get this image
The recommended way to get the Bitnami Python Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.
$ docker pull bitnami/python:latest
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.
$ docker pull bitnami/python:[TAG]
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.
$ docker build -t bitnami/python https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-python.git
Entering the REPL
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 bitnami/python
Configuration
Running your Python script
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 bitnami/python \
python script.py
Running a Python app with package dependencies
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 bitnami/python pip install -r requirements.txt
$ docker run -it --name python -v /path/to/app:/app bitnami/python python script.py
or using Docker Compose:
java:
image: bitnami/java:latest
command: "sh -c 'pip install -r requirements.txt && python script.py'"
volumes:
- .:/app
