Docker Container Pytorch Version does not change according to DockerFile configuration

username: nbansal90
cooked: <p>Hello Folks,</p>
<p>I am looking to launch a docker container using 3 files which are <code>DockerFile</code>, <code>build.sh</code> and <code>run.sh</code> respectively. Where I have all my configuration mentioned in <code>DockerFile</code>. I mention explicitly the python version which I need to be present on the docker, which needs to be <code>Python 3.7</code> but to my surprise when i launch my container (build–&gt; run). I find that pyhton version is always 3.8 (irrespective of version I pass in my config file(DockerFile)).</p>
<p>I have tried few solution mentioned on the internet, but none seems to be working for me. I will share the content of <code>DockerFile</code>, which are</p>
