Debian 8 (Jessie) has been EOL’d by Debian and so they changed the mirrors. You should change to python:3.6-stretch or as a quick fix, you can add the following before you call apt-get update:

RUN rm /etc/apt/sources.list
RUN echo "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
RUN echo "deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
RUN echo "Acquire::Check-Valid-Until false;" | tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10-nocheckvalid
RUN echo 'Package: *\nPin: origin "archive.debian.org"\nPin-Priority: 500' | tee -a /etc/apt/preferences.d/10-archive-pin

Ouch. This is being tracked at https://github.com/debuerreotype/docker-debian-artifacts/issues/66#issuecomment-476648047, and hopefully I'll have it fixed later today.
