The README.md mentions a build.sh which has been removed since the support for Python2 was removed. Should it be added back?

A PR will be created to address this.

https://hub.docker.com/r/zalando/python/ repository points to the python3.4 version, though the tags include the python 3.5 version as well. Please document the fact, that the repository contains more versions of python, other than 3.4

After Python 3.7 was introduced (#22), this base image now has both Python 3.6 and Python 3.7. Python 3.6 is present in the Ubuntu's base image and purging it will cause unexpected side effects.

When pip is invoked it'll install libraries for 3.6. When the user runs its app through python, it'll run under 3.7 since it's set by update-alternatives, meaning that the app won't be able to use the installed dependencies.

I can only see few alternatives:

• Create a global alias for pip which would forward the call to python3.7 -m pip (which is available after python3-pip is installed). From the user point of view, this would be rather invisible.
• Last resort, which is rolling back to 3.6.

Either way, I can implement this or other alternatives myself if needed, since I was the one who pushed the change to 3.7. So, let me know what you think.

Edit: A separate issue, but it's still using 3.6.x for image tagging as well.

3.6 is now the official latest stable and recommended version of Python. I would like to see this image upgraded. source

Requesting a name change in light of this and related email thread.

Hello,

I see a PR was merged to have 3.7, but there is no 3.7 image available to download - could you please push it? :)

I am wondering if you all would be open to asking other Zalando engineers for their feedback on these projects before we write READMEs, move, or do anything else with them. I have a feedback form ready for this that I've been using to help the owners of other project owners get input; all I would need from you would be the names of some people whose feedback you'd find most valuable. We can do it ASAP if you agree.

An official package is now available for Python 3.7. PR will follow soon.
