Recently I have started using PyCharm 2017 to use for remote debugging in Docker and I realized that with every version of PyCharm a new image of pycharm_helpers is pulled (with a different tag depending on the build).
Is there any way I can download all of the pycharm_helpers images? ...or do I need to download all the versions and run them in order to get the images... (believe it or not I don't want to do option B).
Thanks in advance
After trying and studying the build that happens to create the pycharm_helpers I realized it uses busybox as a base for the image.
Once I pulled the busybox image PyCharm was able to build the helper and my code was able to debug in the container no matter what version of PyCharm.
I hope this is helpful to others, especially since now you don't have to store the helpers in your registry.
