Alpine error during installing python shapely

I need to install Shapely into Python+Alpine based docker container. What I already have inside the container:

make, gcc, geos-dev, musl-dev

What I got with this command: pip install shapely

I googled around much time but can't find any solving.

Dockerfile

FROM python:3.7-alpine

RUN ["mkdir", "/home/test"]
WORKDIR /home/test

RUN echo "http://mirror.leaseweb.com/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN ["apk", "add", "make", "gcc", "geos-dev", "musl-dev"]
RUN ["pip3", "install", "virtualenv", "--no-warn-script-location", "--disable-pip-version-check"]
RUN ["virtualenv", ".env", "--python=python3"]
RUN ["pip3", "install", "shapely"]

CMD ["/bin/sh"]

Version of Python inside the container

/home/test # /usr/local/bin/python
Python 3.7.5 (default, Oct 21 2019, 20:13:45) 
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

GEOS version

/home/test # geos-config --version
3.7.2

UPDATED

Now you must put this repo beneath others:

--repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community

This will work:

FROM python:3.7-alpine

RUN ["mkdir", "/home/test"]
WORKDIR /home/test

RUN echo "http://mirror.leaseweb.com/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN apk add --virtual .build-deps \
        --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community \
        --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main \
        gcc libc-dev geos-dev geos && \
    runDeps="$(scanelf --needed --nobanner --recursive /usr/local \
    | awk '{ gsub(/,/, "\nso:", $2); print "so:" $2 }' \
    | xargs -r apk info --installed \
    | sort -u)" && \
    apk add --virtual .rundeps $runDeps
RUN ["pip", "install", "shapely"]

CMD ["/bin/sh"]

see this

UPDATE: As per comments, geos-dev has moved to the community repo.

I hit this problem with my build as well. My workaround was to switch from Alpine to Debian (not ideal, but it allowed me to use an older version of geos), since it appears the latest version of geos is incompatible with shapely.
