This is what I use in a Dockerfile for an alpine image:
# Install python/pip
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
RUN apk add --update --no-cache python3 && ln -sf python3 /usr/bin/python
RUN python3 -m ensurepip
RUN pip3 install --no-cache --upgrade pip setuptools

OP specifically asks how to accomplish the task without using a python image.

You're obviously interested in installing python3.8, not just any version of python3. However, none of the answers address this. Has anyone figured out how to install a specific minor version of python3?
