I just checked and indeed the python exec installed by miniconda does not work on Alpine linux (launch via docker from the gliderlabs/alpine image):

We could assume that wheel binary packages should not link to any .so file from the system besides the libc. I think the packages that have specific kernel ABI requirements are rare enough to be explicitly left outside of this first effort and let the user build those from source directly. Is there an easy way to introspect a binary to detect such kernel dependencies? -- Olivier _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
