Actually, you can run most wheels just fine if you do this: https://github.com/insightfulsystems/alpine-python/blob/5a34...

You just need to know how :)

I did know this, but it wasn't 100% reliable, see https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/18150

Regarding the "runs just fine", this is not guaranteed. I certainly do check if it is working, and if it is, and it is a small service or just a containerized tool, then I'll use it. Like using GDAL to perform some reprojections and renderings where a throwaway container is called from a shell script, if it works once, I'll keep using it, but I won't use it to run a Python server which also makes use of Matplotlib and other big dependencies.
