Python3 is not installed but required to use the minted package

[marc-leinweber]

The minted package requires python3 as it executes some formatting in an python3 executable. The executable (/opt/texlive/bin/x86_64-linuxmusl/latexminted) comes with the full notion of the container but python3 is, at least on my side missing. A simple apk add python3 fixed the issued and I was able to render minted code listings. Could you please add python3 to the image?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the report!

The current behavior was kinda the original idea, i.e. installing required system components via apk add. That's because it's very difficult to provide everything everyone would need for every package that requires system components.

But maybe installing very basic things like python is the way to go, I'll see what I can do!

I would argue that "full" somehow implies that everything that comes with the "full" texlive experience works out of the box? I do not know, however, if there are any packages like minted that have additional dependencies...

Additionally, I would assume that the Python runtime has no big memory footprint?

This way or the other, thanks a lot for thinking about it.
