Python

Efficient (faster) Python

Using Alpine can make Python Docker builds 50× slower

  • nb: “An update: PEP 656 and related infrastructure mean pip and PyPI now support wheels for the musl C library, and therefore for Alpine. Build tools like cibuildwheel have added support for these, and Alpine-compatible wheels have become much more widely available, including for many scientific Python libraries, including matplotlib, Pandas, and NumPy. Not all packages build them, however, and I’m still personally wary of using musl given past bad experiences with bugs.”
