# Docker images with Python + Mono + pythonnet
Docker images with various combinations of Python, Mono, and pythonnet versions.
## Quickstart
Get a Python shell:
```
$ docker run -it --rm mosthege/pythonnet:python3.11.1-mono6.12-pythonnet3.0.1 python
Python 3.11.1 (main, Dec 8 2022, 00:05:00) [GCC 10.2.1 20210110] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
```
Inside the Python shell:
```
>>> import clr
>>> from System import Environment
>>> print(Environment.MachineName)

## Approach
The method for installing is slightly different for each of the three main components of this image (Python, Mono, pythonnet):
* **Python**: Because an actively maintained and "official" [Dockerhub repository](https://hub.docker.com/_/python/) covering a range of Python versions exists, these Python images are used as base images.
The `-stretch` variant of the Python Docker images is used because the slimmer variants (`-slim` and `-alpine`) do not include the tooling [required](https://github.com/mono/docker/issues/56) for the Mono and pythonnet installs later.
* **Mono** provides [succinct documentation for installing on Debian systems](http://www.mono-project.com/download/#download-lin-debian), including [steps for installing older releases](http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#accessing-older-releases).
* **pythonnet** is the smallest (by contributor count) of the three project and, therefore, does not come with the luxery of comprehensive installation documentation for a wide range of platforms.
Binary packages only exist for Windows, but installing pythonnet on a Linux based platform with Mono involves building from source.
Gladly, the project's issue tracker contains a wealth of detailed reports of problems and solutions.
## Notes on available versions/tags
### Python
The Python versions included are a subset of those available in the [Python Dockerhub repository](https://hub.docker.com/_/python/), excluding pre-release versions.
The Python Dockerhub repository generally includes the latest stable version of every supported branch of Python (for example `3.5.4` but not `3.5.3`, and none of `3.3.x`).
Currently, there are no abbreviated version tags (e.g. `3.6` pointing at `3.6.4`) since including those would increase the maintenance effort.
### Mono
[Mono versioning](http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/versioning/) is non-obvious to the newcomer.
I make no claim to understand the details of it and use the [Mono Project's own Docker repository](https://hub.docker.com/r/library/mono/) as guidance for which versions are current.
### pythonnet
The [pythonnet installation instructions](https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/wiki/Installation) recommend an install via `pip install pythonnet`, or via `conda install -c conda-forge pythonnet`.
In the Docker images here, we install via PyPI/pip.
