Description

In the past, we only used this image for service deployment, so we didn't really need more than one (working) version of Python. However, in order to speed up our CI (and the lengthy GDAL source build), we're starting to use this image for CI testing as well.

With that in mind, we really need to start supporting more than one single version of Python. Presently, the most recent branches (gdal3) only installs Python version 3.8. This should be expanded to include all currently supported minor versions of Python.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the image definition on the gdal3 branch and the repository's CI configuration; the issue identifies Python 3.8 as the current version but names no files. Compare the supported minor versions in the linked Python devcycle and determine how the image builds them. Done means the image supports all currently supported Python minor versions for CI testing.
