Descripción
The example Dockerfile in the Create a Dockerfile in your python App Project section in the image documentation should have
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
or add the -u option to
CMD [ "python", "-u", "./your-daemon-or-script.py" ]
From https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdout:
When interactive, the
stdoutstream is line-buffered. Otherwise, it is block-buffered like regular text files. Thestderrstream is line-buffered in both cases. You can make both streams unbuffered by passing the-ucommand-line option or setting thePYTHONUNBUFFEREDenvironment variable.
Changed in version 3.9: Non-interactive stderr is now line-buffered instead of fully buffered.
When running a container non-interactively, no output from the python script or daemon are flushed to stdout until the block buffer is full (generally DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE = 8192) or the container terminates. For daemons which do not terminate and which may not have much logging over its lifetime, nothing may be logged at all.
This makes viewing / tailing the container logs in realtime which by default captures stdout problematic, especially when viewing the logs in conjunction with other services.
Example docker-compose.yaml which demonstrates this issue.
---
services:
demo:
image: python:3
command:
- python
- -c
- |
import time
for i in range(10):
print(i)
time.sleep(1)
No output is written until the container terminates.
It took me a while to figure out what the problem was, believing it was a problem with Docker not flushing logs to the driver (with --log-opt mode=non-blocking) or getting blocked (with --log-opt mode=blocking - the default), until I realised it was a problem specific to Python. Adding changes to the Python image documentation would help users with similar problems. E.g. https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/12447#issuecomment-94416623 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29663459/python-app-does-not-print-anything-when-running-detached-in-docker
The Docker Python Guide docs, https://docs.docker.com/language/python/build-images/ should also be updated.

Línea de trabajo
Comienza con el ejemplo de content.md en «Create a Dockerfile in your python App Project» y, después, revisa Docker Python Guide en docs.docker.com/language/python/build-images/. Actualiza ambas ubicaciones de la documentación para explicar la salida de Python sin búfer para los registros de los contenedores, incluir el ejemplo elegido y asegurar que las indicaciones coincidan con el comportamiento de Python citado.
