@antonio Thank you for the feedback. I can’t 100% say the cause for this, but my assumption is that when it takes longer. it can be due to Docker Hub serving speed of the image and when your job runs on a CircleCI host that doesn’t already have the image cached. If it’s the latter (my theory), this issue will happen less and less and more people start to use this image.
I plan to have this Python image move out of beta and to stable/GA this month. Once that happens, I expect a large bump in users which will help this problem. Great feedback, definitely let me know if this gets worse in maybe a month or so.
@khtan If we pre-install PyTest, it definitely won’t be a variant, it’ll be part of the main image. This is good feedback and PyTest sounds like a great candidate to include. I’ll post here when I have an update for this image (will be this week).
