The base images are maintained by SRE serviceops team in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/operations/docker-images/production-images and specifically under the directory images/python-build. I guess you should be able to propose a change by copying an existing image definition and adjusting the Dockerfile.template from Buster/Bullseye to Bookworm.

Thanks a lot! Submitting patch.

Summary of the discussion on the CR:

Since bookworm, installing pip packages system-wide triggers an error
It can be worked around with an additional --break-system-packages flag to pip, or installing the debian repos python3-wheel
I couldn't find the reasoning behind specifically using pip's wheel (@hashar if you remember why, I'm interested :D)

I propose we move this new image to use the debian packaged python3-wheel, maybe moving other images afterwards if we can.

Thanks @hashar for updating the patch and for some insights into the history of image building. @Clement_Goubert who will be able to deploy this patch?
