Absolutely agree. Which is why I don't use Alpine linux for python projects and wouldn't recommend anyone else does. In the article, they are only using pandas

Absolutely agree. Which is why I don't use Alpine linux for python projects and wouldn't recommend anyone else does.
In the article, they are only using pandas and not using a requirements.txt file. So it's a pretty perfect case to just use apk. In cases where you don't need many packages, you can still use Alpine if you would like without most of the downsides mentioned in the article.
- swiley 7y agoI write a decent amount of python on alpine, in general I stick to the standard library and occasionally something like pyserial, sqlite, or numpy for specific things. IMO this attitude of pulling in dozens of packages with pip is pretty dangerous, I don’t care which language you’re using.
