I am trying to create a distroless container using gcr.io./distroless/python3-debian10 using base image as debian:buster-slim
I've installed enchant in python virtual environment of the base image, then I've copied virtual environment to the distroless image, but the enchant library files are not being copied to distroless container.
While debugging I found that, the enchant is properly installed in the base image container and working fine, but it's not reflecting in the distroless container.
Here is the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "app.py", line 17, in <module>

raise ImportError(msg)
ImportError: The 'enchant' C library was not found and maybe needs to be installed.
See https://pyenchant.github.io/pyenchant/install.html
for details
I went to this suggested url(https://pyenchant.github.io/pyenchant/install.html) from the error message, in that they've specified to install pyenchant which was already installed. And I've also installed libenchant, enchant as well.
And here's the code for reference:
