If you are using Git Bash on Windows, you may find that the above still doesn't work; you may get the following error:
~~~
python3: can't open file '//C:/Program Files/Git/temp/sum.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
~~~
{: .output}

If so, then run the following (the `export` command changes the way Git Bash handles filepaths for the current session only):
~~~
$ export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1
$ docker container run --mount type=bind,source=${PWD},target=/temp alice/alpine-python python3 /temp/sum.py
~~~
{: .language-bash}

Note that if we create any files in the `/temp` directory while the container is
running, these files will appear on our host filesystem in the original directory
and will stay there even when the container stops.
