Can't `pip install mediapipe' on Docker alpine linux

[Dekwin]

System information (Please provide as much relevant information as possible)

• OS Platform and Distribution: Docker, image python:3.8-alpine
• Installed using virtualenv? pip? Conda? (if python): pip
• MediaPipe version: latest
• OpenCV version (if running on desktop): not installed

Describe the problem:

I tried to install mediapipe inside the alpine python image (python:3.8-alpine), but got an error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mediapipe (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for mediapipe

My Dockerfile looks like:

ARG IMAGE=python:3.8-alpine
FROM ${IMAGE}

RUN pip install mediapipe

But if I use Debian based image (python:3.8) it works normally and it can find a mediapipe package:

ARG IMAGE=python:3.8
FROM ${IMAGE}

RUN pip install mediapipe

Hi @Dekwin, Could you please elaborate the use case w.r.t prefer the docker alpine image. Thank you!

try with python:3.8-slim-buster example

FROM python:3.8-slim-buster COPY . . RUN pip install -r requirements.txt CMD ["python", "main.py"]

Please note that, using slim python images will result in problems with opencv (https://github.com/google/mediapipe/issues/3661) as they require additional dependencies.

For the issue here, it seems mediapipe only provides manylinux wheels, that are not supported on alpine systems.
