Python installed two times with different versions about docker-python-nodejs HOT 3 CLOSED

I'll have a look at why nodesource debs want to install their own python, could it be because of node-gyp or something in that area? I'll consider switching the install method to something similar to official node images instead. Are the alpine images an alternative for now?

It is easy to answer why nodesource debs want to install their own python:

$ wget https://deb.nodesource.com/node_18.x/pool/main/n/nodejs/nodejs_18.16.0-deb-1nodesource1_arm64.deb
$ dpkg -I nodejs_18.16.0-deb-1nodesource1_arm64.deb  | grep Depends
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.28), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2), libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), python3-minimal, ca-certificates

There is a dependency on python3-minimal

In Debian bullseye the python version is 3.9
Could you please check if Debian bullseye offers python 3.10 as deb packages? I believe it does not but I could be wrong.

I would check if you can change the default python version before pulling the packages with:

update-alternatives --list python3-minimal

but it is not working for me.

You could easily solve this problem using a more recent Debian version

Please let me know if this helps.

This should be fixed with #109 which starts using the oficially distributed node.js releases instead of nodesource deb packages.
