Currently the Python installations are built with a command like:

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/python \
    && curl -SL "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/$PYTHON_VERSION/Python-$PYTHON_VERSION.tar.xz" \
        | tar -xJC /usr/src/python --strip-components=1 \
    && cd /usr/src/python \
    && ./configure \
    && make -j$(nproc) \
    && make install \
    && cd / \
    && rm -rf /usr/src/python

When running configure, you should be supplying the --enable-shared option to ensure that shared libraries are built for Python. By not doing this you are preventing any application which wants to use Python as an embedded environment from working. This is because the lack of the shared library results in any embedded system failing at compile time with:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libpython2.7.a(abstract.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `_Py_NotImplementedStruct' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

/usr/local/lib/libpython2.7.a: error adding symbols: Bad value

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

This basic mistake is something that Linux distributions themselves made for many years and it took a lot of complaining and education to get them to fix their Python installations. It would be nice to see you address this and do what all decent Linux distributions do now, and have done for a while, and install Python with shared libraries.
