Why is it hiding in the python3 directory when creating a Scrapy project in a Docker container?

Question

Python

When creating a Scrapy project in a Docker container, it is created in the directory '/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scrapy/templates/project'
How can I make the project and the spider itself be created in the directory I specified?

FROM alpine:3.7

RUN mkdir /app

WORKDIR /app

#RUN  echo "http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing">>/etc/apk/repositories
RUN apk update

RUN apk add python3-dev curl libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libffi-dev gcc musl-dev libgcc openssl-dev

RUN apk add --no-cache python3 && \
    python3 -m ensurepip && \
    rm -r /usr/lib/python*/ensurepip && \
    pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools && \
    if [ ! -e /usr/bin/pip ]; then ln -s pip3 /usr/bin/pip ; fi && \
    if ; then ln -sf /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python; fi && \
    rm -r /root/.cache

RUN pip3 install scrapy

ADD . /app

#CMD ["sh"]
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/bin/scrapy"]

Answer 1

scrapy/templates/project are templates for generating scrapy projects via scrapy genspider
You need to create your project where you want, and scrapy is installed correctly.
