  1. use --no-cache-dir flag to pip in dockerfiles to save space

    using "--no-cache-dir" flag in pip install ,make sure downloaded packages
    by pip don't cached on system . This is a best practice which make sure
    to fetch from repo instead of using local cached one . Further , in case
    of Docker Containers , by restricting caching , we can reduce image size.
    In term of stats , it depends upon the number of python packages
    multiplied by their respective size . e.g for heavy packages with a lot
    of dependencies it reduce a lot by don't caching pip packages.
    
    Further , more detail information can be found at
