build-python

This repository automates the process of building a self contained Python install against CentOS/RHEL 8 environment.

Usage

• Build the Docker container with all necessary dependencies required for compiling Python from source

$ docker build . -t build-python`

• Launch the container in interactive mode with the target directory for the build mounted from the host

$ docker run --rm -it \
        -v <local-dir>:/python \
        -v `pwd`:/workspace \
        build-python /bin/bash

• Build python

$ build-python.jl -v 3.9.4 \
                  -d /python \
                  -r /workspace/requirements.txt
