python doesn't recognize packages from a site-packages on a volume

Im trying to have 2 docker containers. one of them holding the dependencies and one of them running code that is using these packages.



I installed all the necessary packages in the first container, on the mounted folder that the two containers share. I then set the PYTHONPATH on the second container to point to the shared directory as well.



but when I try to import a module it is not available.



Even more so, the packages are not available to me in the first container when trying to import them (even though I set the PYTHONPATH)



how can I make this work so that one container will install the dependencies and the other will just point to them?
