Dockerfile does not build on armel

[mhaas]

Hi,

I just tried building the Dockerfile on my armel box. It fails to build with the following error:

 ---> 7424d653b82a
Step 4/8 : RUN pip --no-cache-dir install --upgrade pip
 ---> Running in 629f7e46aa78
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>
    from pip import main
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    import logging

    import sys, os, time, cStringIO, traceback, warnings, weakref, collections
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/weakref.py", line 14, in <module>
    from _weakref import (

The likely reason is that the FROM image is python:2, which contains a python built from source. The apt-get invocation however installs python packages from Debian.

The following patch works for me:

The originally used python:2 image uses FROM buildpack-deps:jessie, so I just decided to use that for this Dockerfile as well. Note that I used stretch instead of jessie, which is why I had to update m2crypto to make it build. If I had used jessie, the originally used version should have worked.

@mhaas any way you can create a PR with the patch so long as it doesn't break anything else?

[mhaas]

@Aareon I was just working on the PR, but I cannot run current master with the patch above due to commit 5de43fc45c32245facb8d12121c11903bc19b421

Does python-firetv now require python 3?

[Aareon]

odd. What version of Python are you using?
