How do I install dateinfer inside my Docker image

Some background : I'm new to understanding docker images and containers and how to write DOCKERFILE. I currently have a Dockerfile which installs all the dependencies that I want through PIP install command and so, it was very simple to build and deploy images.
But I currently have a new requirement to use the Dateinfer module and that cannot be installed through the pip install command.
The repo has to be first cloned and then has to be installed and I'm having difficulty achieving this through a DOCKERFILE. The current work around I've been following for now is to run the container and install it manually in the directory with all the other dependencies and Committing the changes with dateinfer installed.But this is a very tedious and time consuming process and I want to achieve the same by just mentioning it in the DOCKERFILE along with all my other dependencies.
This is what my Dockerfile looks like:
FROM ubuntu:20.04
RUN apt update
RUN apt upgrade -y
RUN apt-get install -y python3
RUN apt-get install -y python3-pip
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive TZ=Etc/UTC apt-get -y install tzdata
RUN apt-get install -y libenchant1c2a
RUN apt install git -y
RUN pip3 install argparse
RUN pip3 install boto3
RUN pip3 install numpy==1.19.1
RUN pip3 install scipy
RUN pip3 install pandas
RUN pip3 install scikit-learn
RUN pip3 install matplotlib
RUN pip3 install plotly
RUN pip3 install kaleido
RUN pip3 install fpdf
RUN pip3 install regex
RUN pip3 install pyenchant
RUN pip3 install openpyxl
ADD core.py /
ENTRYPOINT [ "/usr/bin/python3.8", "/core.py”]
So when I try to install Dateinfer like this:
RUN git clone https://github.com/nedap/dateinfer.git
RUN cd dateinfer
RUN pip3 install .
It throws the following error :
ERROR: Directory '.' is not installable. Neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.
The command '/bin/sh -c pip3 install .' returned a non-zero code: 1
How do I solve this?

Each RUN directive in a Dockerfile runs in its own subshell. If you write something like this:
RUN cd dateinfer
That is a no-op: it starts a new shell, changes directory, and then the shell exits. When the next RUN command executes, you're back in the / directory.
The easiest way of resolving this is to include your commands in a single RUN statement:
RUN git clone https://github.com/nedap/dateinfer.git && \
cd dateinfer && \
pip3 install .
In fact, you would benefit from doing this with your other pip install commands as well; rather than a bunch of individual RUN
commands, consider instead:
RUN pip3 install \
argparse \
boto3 \
numpy==1.19.1 \
scipy \
pandas \
scikit-learn \
matplotlib \
plotly \
kaleido \
fpdf \
regex \
pyenchant \
openpyxl
That will generally be faster because pip only needs to resolve
dependencies once.
Rather than specifying all the packages individually on the command
line, you could also put them into a requirements.txt file, and then
use pip install -r requirements.txt.

cant install pip in ubuntu 18.04 docker /bin/sh: 1: pip: not found

I am getting the error using pip in my docker image.
FROM ubuntu:18.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
software-properties-common
RUN add-apt-repository universe
RUN apt-get install -y \
python3.6 \
python3-pip
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
RUN mkdir /api
WORKDIR /api
COPY . /api/
RUN pip install pipenv
RUN ls
RUN pipenv sync
I installed python 3.6 and pip3 but getting
Step 9/11 : RUN pip install pipenv
---> Running in b184de4eb28e
/bin/sh: 1: pip: not found

To run pip for python3 use pip3, not pip.

Another solution.
You can add this line (after apt-get install). It will upgrade pip to the version you need, for instance:
RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip==20.0.1
and you can then use pip install from requirements file (for instance):
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

pip install error while building docker images

I'm using centos/python-36-centos7 as a base image of my application. In Dockerfile, after RUN pip install --upgrade pip, pip successfully upgrades from 9.0.1 to 18.0. Next step, at RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt, docker keeps throwing error:
/bin/sh: /opt/app-root/bin/pip: /opt/app-root/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
The command '/bin/sh -c pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt' returned a non-zero code: 126

UPDATES:
problem fixed by removing pip install --upgrade pip and running pip 9.0.1. I am thinking it has something to do with pip 18.0 vs CentOS7 docker images. I would still like to know if there is a fix under pip 18.0.

Problems fixed completely by pulling centOS7 image and build python from source. As a reminder, don't use the latest version of centos/python-36-centos7 as of June 2018.

Compiling Python 2.6.6 and need for external packages wxPython, setuptools, etc... in Ubuntu

I compiled Python 2.6.6 with google-perf tools (tcmalloc) library to eliminate some of the memory issues I was having with the default 2.6.5. After getting 2.6.6 going it seems to not work becuase I think having issues with the default 2.6.5 install in Ubuntu. Will none of the binaries installed from the software channel like wxPython and setuptools work properly with 2.6.6. Do these need to be recompiled? Any other suggestions to get it working smoothly. Can I still set 2.6.5 as default without changing the Path? The path looks in usr/local/bin first.

A good general rule of thumb is to NEVER use the default system installed Python for any software development beyond miscellaneous system admin scripts. This applies on all UNIXes including Linux and OS/X.
Instead, build a good Python distro that you control, with the libraries (Python and C) that you need, and install this tarball in a non-system directory such as /opt/devpy or /data/package/python or /home/python. And why mess with 2.6 when 2.7.2 is available?
And when you are building it, make sure that all of its dependencies are in its own directory tree (RPATH) and that any system dependencies (.so files) are copied into its directory tree. Here is my version. It might not work if you just run the whole shell script. I always copy and paste sections of this into a terminal window and verify that each step worked OK. Make sure your terminal properties are set to allow lots of lines of scrollback, or only paste a couple of lines at a time.
(actually, after making a few tweaks I think this may be runnable as a script, however I would recommend something like ./pybuild.sh >pylog 2>&1 so you can comb through the output and verify that everything built OK.

I'm pretty sure you have to compile wxPython to the version of Python that you want to use it with. That's always been the case with anyone else who has done something like this on the wxPython mailing list. I think that applies to most packages and especially so if they have any C/C++ components, like wxPython does. Pure Python packages can sometimes be transferred from one version to the next intact in my experience.
There are fairly extensive wxPython build instructions here: http://wxpython.org/BUILD-2.8.html
Robin Dunn and others on the wxPython mailing list are very helpful if you run into any problems.

If you compiled 2.6.6 and installed 2.6.5 from the repos, then ubuntu is having a conflict in finding what python you're using.
I'm flagging this to move to Superuser.

Installing second python on Debian

So I have Debian machine for my Django production server.
I need to install second python (2.7.1) to use with virtualenv.
But it always write I don't have some modules, then I have to search manually, apt-install them and rebuild. Is there either a way to resolve the dependencies for building, or pre-compiled .deb with python 2.7.1 for Debian Squeeze?
Sorry if this is much of a noobie question, I googled, honestly.

Get the Python 2.7.1 sources and compile it manually:
configure --prefix=/path/to/python-2.7
make; make install

Python 2.7 is available for wheezy (testing), so you should be able to install it by adding the testing repository and doing some APT pinning.
1) add the repository in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
2) do the actual pinning in /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release n=testing
Pin-Priority: 100
A Pin-Priority of under 500 basically means that no packages from testing are installed automatically, so you won't have problems with other packages.
3) install python2.7 from testing:
aptitude -t testing install python2.7
(or apt-get if you don't have aptitude)

Here is two methods for Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 (on 18/07/2013):
The classic
Install dependencies
aptitude -y install build-essential python-pip libmysqlclient-dev libadns1-dev \
python-dev libreadline-dev libgdbm-dev zlib1g-dev libsqlite3-dev \
libssl-dev libbz2-dev libncurses5-dev libdb-dev
Download python
cd /tmp
wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.5/Python-2.7.5.tar.xz
unxz -c Python*xz | tar xpf -
Compile
cd Python*
./configure --prefix=/opt/python2.7.5 --enable-shared
make
Install
make install
echo "/opt/python2.7.5/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libpython2.7.conf
ldconfig
Test
/opt/python2.7.5/bin/python -c "print('Ok')"
Upgrade pip virtualenv
easy_install pip
pip -v install --upgrade distribute==0.7.3
pip -v install --upgrade virtualenv==1.9.1
Create an user and its virtualenv
adduser user_app --home /opt/user_app
su user_app
virtualenv --no-site-packages --verbose -p /opt/python2.7.5/bin/python $HOME
Test again
su user_app
cd
source bin/activate
python -c "import sys; print sys.version"
The "pythonic"
Use the package pyenv.
pyenv install 2.7.5

Installing a chroot-environment with debootstrap could be also a fast and secure solution.
It uses about 300mb
debootstrap wheezy /opt/debian7
chroot /opt/debian7
apt-get install python2.7

You can install and switch python versions using pythonbrew I installed python 2.7.3 and python 2.7.9 in Debian 6 and Debian 7 and works fine.
You can follow this tutorial pythonbrew howto
