# Google Cloud Platform Python Docker Image
# Google Cloud Platform - Python Runtime Docker Image

This repository contains the source for the `gcr.io/google_appengine/python` [docker](https://docker.io) base image. This image can be used as the base image for running applications on [Google App Engine Managed VMs](https://cloud.google.com/appengine), [Google Container Engine](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine), or any other Docker host.
This repository contains the source for the `gcr.io/google_appengine/python` [docker](https://docker.io) base image. This image can be used as the base image for running applications on [Google App Engine Flexible](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/), [Google Container Engine](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine), or any other Docker host.

This image is based on Debian Jessie and contains packages required to build most of the popular Python libraries.
This image is based on Debian Jessie and contains packages required to build most of the popular Python libraries. For more information about this runtime, see the [documentation](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/python/runtime).

## App Engine

To generate a Dockerfile that uses this image as a base, use the [`Cloud SDK`](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/preview/app/gen-config):
When using App Engine Flexible, you can use the runtime without worrying about docker by specifying `runtime: python` in your `app.yaml`:

```yaml
runtime: python
vm: true
entrypoint: gunicorn -b :$PORT main:app

runtime_config:
# You can also specify 2 for Python 2.7
python_version: 3
```
If you want to use this runtime as a base and customize it, you can generate a Dockerfile using the [`Cloud SDK`](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/preview/app/gen-config):

gcloud preview app gen-config --custom
