💥Setting up Python Interpreter and running Python Code on Docker Container.

Python is a programming language and many applications are developed in it because of many reasons. So it is important that docker must have a python interpreter to run the application on it.

For setup python interpreter on the docker follow these steps

Step 1: Launch a Docker container

docker run -it --name <container_name> <image>:<version>

The above command will launch a container on the host OS with your desired image. In my case, I have used centos:latest image.

Container name: pythonOS

Step 2. Install Python

yum install -y python36

The above command will install python 3.6 in the container.

Step 3. Write a code and run it

cat > first.py
print("First code")

I have created a file named first.py for demo only. Now, run it with the python3 command.

python3 first.py
