@nvlrmdn The best use case for the app is when you have a full app in the container, which you may or may not have in your case (not sure here... you mentioned you have a python script, but does it use all packages you need?). Minifying base images is more involved because you need to explicitly specify everything you need (or most of it). There's no simple way to remove specific system or python packages you don't need at this point in time.

In your case, you might need to enhance the script you have to use more python dependencies. Either way, take a look at the --include-path and other --include-* flags (e.g., --include-bin, etc). These flags are used to explicitly add extra directories or files to the minified images in addition to what's included automatically. For node.js applications there's also the --include-node-package flag that allows you to keep additional node.js packages by name.
