Issue with pip install in 3.12 slim

[sudhirbits]

Hi I am using gitlab ci for build. which uses the python:slim image (which is currently version 3.12)

Building wheels for collected packages: aiohttp, frozenlist, multidict, yarl
Building wheel for aiohttp (pyproject.toml): started
Building wheel for aiohttp (pyproject.toml): finished with status 'error'
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory
[end of output]

Please note that using python:3.11-slim for the gitlab ci docker image solves the issue.

I do not think gcc is expected for any *-slim image. I suggest to use multi-stage build images and create wheel from 3.11 and using it in 3.11-slim. Something like:

ARG PYTHON_VERSION=3.11
FROM python:${PYTHON_VERSION} AS build
COPY ./requirements.txt .
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/buildkit/pip \
    pip wheel --wheel-dir /wheels -r requirements.txt

FROM python:${PYTHON_VERSION}-slim
COPY requirements.txt ./
COPY --from=build /wheels /wheels
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/buildkit/pip \
    pip install --find-links /wheels --no-index -r requirements.txt

Getting the same issue for slim-bullseye, gcc doesn't work on 3.12 but does on the 3.11 image.

Hello,
I have the same issue since yesterday with the image python:latest.

I got the following issue related to gcc during the build:

`gcc -fno-strict-overflow -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -fPIC -I/usr/local/include/python3.12 -c src/pymssql/_mssql.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-cpython-312/src/pymssql/_mssql.o -DMSDBLIB
src/pymssql/_mssql.c:1197:10: fatal error: sqlfront.h: No such file or directory
1197 | #include "sqlfront.h"

compilation terminated.

I was able to build the application successfully on python:3-alpine but it would fail in the test phase.

Rolling back to 3.11-alpine has it successfully build and test though.

Just wanted to confirm that 3.12 broke my builds with all sorts of rather cryptographic errors, rolled back to 3.11-slim and everything went back to normal.

@sudhirbits It seems to be a known issue with aiohttp in 3.12. Someone has a workaround here but I have not tested it

aio-libs/aiohttp#7229 (comment)

See #862 (comment) and #882 (comment):

Earlier versions of 3.11 accidentally included dev packages that weren't mean to be part of the image and it was fix in #858.

The non-slim images are "batteries included" based on https://hub.docker.com/_/buildpack-deps, ...:

The main tags of this image are the full batteries-included approach. With them, a majority of arbitrary gem install / npm install / pip install should be successful without additional header/development packages.

...

The "slim" tags are then the antithesis to that: namely, not batteries included, and having only the bare minimum installed.
