---

examples/python-curl-dev/Dockerfile

FROM python:3.8
RUN pip3 install requests
# COPY curl.py .
# ENTRYPOINT ["python3", "curl.py"]

$ docker build -t mydocker .

$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/opt/ mydocker python /opt/curl.py  https://httpbin.org/get

• --rm to remove the container when we stopped it.
• -v $(pwd):/opt/ to map the current directory on the host system to the /opt directory inside the container
• mydocker is the name of the image
• After that we can any python program.

• You can edit the file on your host system (with your IDE) and run it on the command line of the Docker container.
• This works on Linux and Mac OSX. On Windows you might need to spell out the current working directory yourself.
