Python docker image build fails due to gcc error - python-3.x

Question

I am studying Nornir and want to containerize my application, here is the Dockerfile content:
FROM alpine
RUN apk update && apk upgrade
RUN apk add gcc && apk add py3-pip && apk add libevent-dev
RUN apk add python3-dev && pip3 install nornir
When I build the container with the command:
docker build --network=host .
I get the following errors:
somaiia#main-srv:~/core/nornir$ docker build --no-cache --network=host .
Sending build context to Docker daemon 10.24kB
Step 1/4 : FROM alpine
...
Step 4/4 : RUN apk add python3-dev && pip3 install nornir
---> Running in 025aee6693e4

I am unable to build Nornir and can't proceed with the next steps as a result, what can I do?

Answer 1

In the logs the error originates from this
Collecting ruamel.yaml.clib>=0.2.6
Downloading ruamel.yaml.clib-0.2.6.tar.gz (180 kB)
**ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:
But following the logs we this
Collecting ruamel.yaml.clib>=0.1.2
Downloading ruamel.yaml.clib-0.2.2.tar.gz (179 kB)
Basically the first dependeny requirement demanded the ruamel.yaml.clib version to be greater or equal to 0.2.6, but it failed.
In the next try it tried for a version greater or equal to 0.1.2.
In the final logs we see
Successfully installed ... nornir-3.3.0 ruamel.yaml.clib-0.2.2 ...**
Meaning it successfully installed an older version of ruamel.yaml.clib library and finally installed the nornir library as well
