Investigate if Python dependencies can be installed via Alpine package manager

There would not be any noticeable functional difference observed by the end-user as a result but this would bring about a great sense of consistency in the way, the Docker images are built.

No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by finding the Docker image build definitions and current Python dependency installation, then compare Alpine package-manager options; done means documenting or implementing a consistent approach without changing end-user behavior.
