Docker : Run Python Interpreter

Execute below command to open python interpreter.

docker run -it --rm python:3

-it: Run the container in interactive mode.

--rm: Remove the container after its execution.

Since I am not specified the command to run, it runs python interpreter by default.

$docker run -it --rm python:3

Now, you can execute any python valid commands in the interpreter.

>>> print("Hello World")

>>>

Execute the command exit() to come out of interpreter prompt.
