Can you edit your question to add the actual text of the Dockerfile you're running and the specific error message you're getting? If it's an error while running the container, also a minimal excerpt from the Python script and the docker run command? — David Maze

You can add a pip install ibm_db in your dockerfile or create a requirements.txt file. And call him in your dockerfile with :

 ADD        ./requirements.txt ./
 RUN        python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

EDIT It worked for me : In my dockerfile :

FROM       python:3.6
ADD        ./requirements.txt ./
RUN        python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
ADD        ./test.py /run

After building succesfully I ran my image with

docker run --name testpython testpython:1 sleep 3600

Go in my container

docker exec -it testpython /bin/bash

And when I run a python console or my test script, the import is OK.

NOTE : With the image python:3.6.8-alpine3.9 the build doesn't work. Check this to see why
