funkyfuture/nest-of-serpents repository overview

⁠Nest of serpents

⁠funkyfuture/nest-of-serpents:pyston

As unfortunately the Pyston development was stopped, there will be no further builds of this image.

• most from :latest (though versions are partly outdated)
• Pyston
  • pyston (0.6)

Their sources are Felix Krull's Deadsnakes PPA⁠, the Pyston sources⁠, and PyPy's builds⁠.

The images are supposed to be a base for testing Python-code against historical and most recent interpreters. Some further tools for are on board, see below.

⁠pip

The scripts to invoke pip have the CPython interpreter's version as suffix, e.g. pip2.6. For PyPy invoke it from the interpreter, e.g. pypy2.7 -m pip <subcommand> […]. For Pyston there's pyston-pip, note that this installs executables to /opt/pyston/bin.

You may use the PIP_INDEX_URL environment variable to use a PyPI-cache⁠.

⁠Other tools

These tools are installed additionally to those from the Ubuntu-image: bzip2, curl, g++, gcc, git, jupp, less, make, nano time, vim, unzip, xz and its friends.

Feel free to request further tools that are useful in general to be included.
