This is a Docker-based Python interpreter builder. It builds Python interpreters using a Debian-based Docker image. These interpreters are suitable to be moved to another Debian-based Docker image. This avoids needing to install build dependencies in the final container.

Use:

docker build --tag=google/python/interpreter-builder .

The interpreters will be stored in the image at /interpreters.tar.gz. This is suitable to be extracted from this image and added directly to another Docker image via:

ADD interpreters.tar.gz /

Docker will automatically un-tar the interpreters into /opt.
