Run python script from Docker

Question

Trying to run test Python script from Docker using Bash. Win10 OS. I have a file print.py in the directory C:/Py/test

run this $ cd C:/Py/test
run this $ docker run --volume $(pwd):/home/${USER} python:3.7 python /home/${USER}/print.py

Got this error: python: can't open file 'C:/Program Files/Git/home/print.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Why is this file trying to be found in the C:/Program Files/Git/home/ directory instead of C:\Py\test?

$ python 'print.py' is working

If you have a working host Python installation, why introduce Docker into it? Can you build a self-contained image with your application code built in, instead of using a bind mount? (This initially sounds like a Windows shell problem to me.) — David Maze

@MarkSetchell got this: docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: exec: "print.py": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown. — dzhukov

Git bash prepended its installation path, try these two methods :
