pandas - Docker build failing while installing pandas in docker in python2.7-alpine

Question

I am running a flask application in Docker. I am also using Pandas. I am using python2.7-alpine image. Earlier it was working fine i.e. I was able to build images with the same configuration.

But now I am unable to build the image as it says:

ERROR: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-Sm9A7D/pandas/
The command '/bin/sh -c pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt' returned a non-zero code: 1

I cannot change the python version. As my application is built on python2 and was as expected for a long back.

My Dockerfile

FROM python:2.7-alpine

RUN echo "ipv6" >> /etc/modules; 
#    echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/main" > /etc/apk/repositories; \
#    echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories; \
#    echo "http://dl-2.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories; \

#    echo "http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories; \
#    echo "http://dl-5.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories

RUN rm -rf /var/cache/apk/* && \
    rm -rf /tmp/* && \
    apk update && \
    apk add --update bash sudo


#================================================================

### Upgrade pip to prevent errors
RUN pip install setuptools --upgrade
ADD requirements.txt /tmp/requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt

The full error track back is:

Answer 1

错误告诉你原因：

文件“/tmp/easy_install-r9No9Q/numpy-1.17.0rc1/setup.py”，第 31 行，在
def is_platform_mac():
RuntimeError: Python version >= 3.5 required。

从 pandas 0.23.4来源：我们可以看到 numpy 的最低版本是1.9.0：

min_numpy_ver = '1.9.0'

因此，如果您没有自己安装版本，pandas 只会安装适合>1.9.0您的最新版 numpy，这里是numpy-1.17.0rc1，但它需要在这里>python3.5看到，所以会发生故障。

python_requires='>=3.5'

最后，如果你查看 numpy 的源代码，你会发现1.16.4它是支持 python2.7 的最后一个版本，看这个，

python_requires='>=2.7,!=3.0.*,!=3.1.*,!=3.2.*,!=3.3.*',

所以，最终解决方案：

预先安装 numpy 1.16.4，然后 pandas 会发现那里有合适的 numpy，不会为你安装最新的 numpy。结果，不会发生错误，详细步骤如下：

apk update
apk add build-base
pip install numpy==1.16.4
pip install pandas==0.23.4

对于Dockerfile，将上述命令添加到一个 RUN 可以修复：

RUN apk update && \
    apk add build-base && \
    pip install numpy==1.16.4 && \
    pip install pandas==0.23.4

另外，您在问题中说：

早些时候它工作正常，即我能够使用相同的配置构建图像。

这是因为numpy 最新版本刚刚在 2019 年 7 月 1 日更新，在此之前，它始终是 python271.16.4没有问题的版本，但现在，事情发生了变化......
