Why do I want to bloat my pipeline container with a fucking python install including all the libraries? I'd rather pop a single tiny binary in there. Container bloat = slower pipelines.
- pipeline_peak 5y agoIf you’re working in a Unix environment within a container isn’t there a high likelihood there already is Python as well? I never said every single library, also Python scripts can run as standalone executables. If you truly can’t have Python because it’s too bloated, then JQ in shell scripts is a fair use case, that just sounds so rare.
- adolph 5y agoTrue, high likelyhood there is _a_ Python but maybe not the Python your script needs. The situation is better nowadays but 2.7 persisted for a really long time.
