Unable to run a python script inside docker from jenkins pipeline

I created a python package (for automating the build stages in jenkins) that can be installed using pip. Also I created a dockerfile that will clone the python package from the github, perform pip install and export the path where the executables (entry points, however you would like to call it) are installed in the container (example: ~/.local/bin). This is how my dockerfile looks like.

FROM ros:melodic-ros-core-stretch
RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install python-pip
RUN git clone <private-repo-with-personal-access-token>
RUN pip install <package-name>
RUN export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH 

So I built this image, ran the container and typed in one of the executables (entry points) that prints hello world. Works perfectly fine. Have no problem whatsoever on that. Coming to the big picture, I want to call this executable (entry points) in the jenkins pipeline. I initially had a problem with that and then I learnt that the jenkins pipeline when setup with a docker image, runs on top of the container but uses the workspace allocated for jenkins which will be /var/lib/jenkins/workspace. This is how my jenkins pipeline script looks like

pipeline {
    agent {
         docker {
              args '--network host -u root:root'
              image '<private-docker-hub-image>'
              registryCredentialsId 'docker-credentials'
              registryUrl 'https://registry.hub.docker.com'
         }
    }
    stages {
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                sh 'test-build'
            }
        }
    }
}

This is the error I'm getting.

My question is how does rosdep, bloom-generate and several other scripts (Its enough to know these are scripts installed as a part of another pip package in ~/.local/bin in Robot Operating System) work in the pipeline but not the scripts that I installed through pip. I would really appreciate any help in pointing me on what I'm missing.

Thank you. Help much appreciated.
