[Python](https://www.python.org/) is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, open-source programming language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, high-level dynamic data types, and classes. It provides interfaces to many system calls, libraries, and various window systems, and it is extensible in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language for applications that require programmable interfaces.
## Usage
To deploy an application, install dependencies, copy the sources, and configure the application's main script:
```Dockerfile
FROM registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/bci/python:3.12
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
CMD [ "python3", "./main-script.py" ]
```
Build and run the container image:
```ShellSession
$ podman build -t my-python-app .
$ podman run -it --rm my-python-app
```
To run a single script inside a container, use the following command:
The Python container image includes [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/), [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/), [wheel](https://wheel.readthedocs.io/), Python Development Headers, and Git.
