I have specific requirement to install Python 2.7.5 in Ubuntu, I could install 2.7.18 without any issues
Below is my dockerfile
ARG UBUNTU_VERSION=18.04
FROM ubuntu:$UBUNTU_VERSION
RUN apt-get update -y \
&& apt-get install -y python2.7.x \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
ENTRYPOINT ["python"]
however if I set it to python2.7.5
ARG UBUNTU_VERSION=18.04
FROM ubuntu:$UBUNTU_VERSION
RUN apt-get update -y \
&& apt-get install -y python2.7.5 \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
ENTRYPOINT ["python"]
it is throwing the following error
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'python2.7.5'
I want to install Python 2.7.5 along with relevant PIP, what should I do?
This version is no longer available in canonical mirrors.
It has been released in 2013.
As a result, having both python and pip working together since then is challenging.
It may be the simplest way if ubuntu is not a requirement.
ARG CENTOS_VERSION=7
FROM centos:$CENTOS_VERSION
# Python 2.7.5 is installed with centos7 image
# Add repository for PIP
RUN yum install -y epel-release
# Install pip
RUN yum install -y python-pip
RUN python --version
ENTRYPOINT [ "python" ]
I've been able to install it from source
It has not been a success to install pip :

ARG UBUNTU_VERSION=18.04
FROM ubuntu:$UBUNTU_VERSION
ARG PYTHON_VERSION=2.7.5
# Install dependencies
# PIP - openssl version > 1.1 may be an issue (try older ubuntu images)
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y wget gcc make openssl libffi-dev libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \
&& apt-get clean

# Build Python from source
RUN wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/$PYTHON_VERSION/Python-$PYTHON_VERSION.tgz \

&& ./configure --enable-optimizations --prefix=/usr/local \
&& make && make install \
&& cd ../ \
&& rm -r ./Python-$PYTHON_VERSION*
RUN python --version

Ubuntu 14.04 still has mirrors working (how long ???).
Python packages are really close to your expectations.
You may try to run your scripts with that one.
ARG UBUNTU_VERSION=14.04
FROM ubuntu:$UBUNTU_VERSION
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y python python-pip \
&& apt-get clean
RUN python --version

Here is what I've tried with no success.
ARG UBUNTU_VERSION=16.04

# Build python from source
RUN wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/$PYTHON_VERSION/Python-$PYTHON_VERSION.tgz \
&& tar --extract -f Python-$PYTHON_VERSION.tgz \
&& cd ./Python-$PYTHON_VERSION/ \
&& ./configure --enable-optimizations --prefix=/usr/local \
&& make && make install \
&& cd ../ \
&& rm -r ./Python-$PYTHON_VERSION*
# Build pip from source
RUN wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py \
&& python get-pip.py
RUN python --version

You can use this dockerfile, building python includes pip.
