Failed to build gevent
ERROR: Could not build wheels for gevent which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

What I've run:

build docker image

FROM docker:18.06

RUN apk update
RUN apk add --no-cache 'python3==3.6.9-r2'
RUN apk add --no-cache python3-dev libffi-dev gcc  musl-dev

RUN mkdir -p .pip
RUN pip3 --cache-dir=.pip install --upgrade pip

then run this image and install gevent in container

pip install gevent==1.5.0

[Song2017]

after install make, it builded successfully.
apk add make

HA! thank you so much, just installed gevent on python alpine 3.8, downgraded to 3.7 immediately, stumbled upon this wheel build issue on my intermediate container. luckily you fixed this 2 days ago!
You saved me hours of searching probably @Song2017

I now have another problem, my curl to healthcheck page stopped working, not sure if related to the switch to gevent..

after install make, it builded successfully.
apk add make

It worked for me, too.
