Python executable location - ProposalElectrical50 - 2024-05-06

I am running jellyfin using the official jellyfin/jellyfin docker container.  

I am now trying to experiment with a post-process script written in python. However I cannot find the location of the python executable in the docker container (I exec into the running container and tried to locate the executable). Searching through the forums, I see scripts referencing python3, but I cannot find them in the locations referenced.  Does the official container not come with python installed?

The Jellyfin server is written in .NET and as such we don't have a need for Python in the container.

Thank you for the quick response. It looks like I will have to stick to shell commands.
