Alpine error during installing python shapely

Question

I need to install Shapely into Python+Alpine based docker container. What I already have inside the container:

make, gcc, geos-dev, musl-dev

What I got with this command: pip install shapely

I googled around much time but can't find any solving.

Dockerfile

FROM python:3.7-alpine

RUN ["mkdir", "/home/test"]
WORKDIR /home/test

RUN echo "http://mirror.leaseweb.com/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN ["apk", "add", "make", "gcc", "geos-dev", "musl-dev"]
RUN ["pip3", "install", "virtualenv", "--no-warn-script-location", "--disable-pip-version-check"]
RUN ["virtualenv", ".env", "--python=python3"]
RUN ["pip3", "install", "shapely"]

CMD ["/bin/sh"]

Version of Python inside the container

/home/test # /usr/local/bin/python
Python 3.7.5 (default, Oct 21 2019, 20:13:45) 
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 

GEOS version

/home/test # geos-config --version
3.7.2

UPDATED

Now you must put this repo beneath others:

--repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community

Answer 1

This will work:

FROM python:3.7-alpine

RUN ["mkdir", "/home/test"]
WORKDIR /home/test

RUN echo "http://mirror.leaseweb.com/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN apk add --virtual .build-deps \
        --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community \
        --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main \
        gcc libc-dev geos-dev geos && \
    runDeps="$(scanelf --needed --nobanner --recursive /usr/local \
    | awk '{ gsub(/,/, "\nso:", $2); print "so:" $2 }' \
    | xargs -r apk info --installed \
    | sort -u)" && \
    apk add --virtual .rundeps $runDeps
RUN ["pip", "install", "shapely"]

CMD ["/bin/sh"]

see this

UPDATE: As per comments, geos-dev has moved to the community repo.
