FROM python:3.9
# Define an argument for the Debian version with a default value
# This allows you to build for a specific version, e.g., bullseye, bookworm, or trixie

[nitpick] Consider using a more stable default like 'bullseye' instead of 'bookworm'. The 'bookworm' codename refers to Debian 12 which is relatively new, and using 'bullseye' (Debian 11) as default would provide better stability for production environments.

Suggested change
ARG DEBIAN_VERSION=bookworm
ARG DEBIAN_VERSION=bullseye

The COPY instruction assumes requirements.txt exists in the build context. Consider adding error handling or documentation about this requirement, as the build will fail if the file doesn't exist.

# NOTE: requirements.txt must exist in the build context (the directory you run `docker build` from).
# If it is missing, the build will fail at this step.
