How can I automate the process of Docker image tagging and versioning for a Python application within a CI/CD pipeline?

Automating Docker image tagging and versioning with Git tags involves several steps:

1. First, maintain version information within your Python application's codebase.
2. Then, configure your CI/CD pipeline to recognize Git tags and trigger specific actions when new tags or commits are detected.
3. Within your pipeline, extract the version from the codebase and use it to tag your Docker image appropriately.
4. Finally, push the tagged Docker images to a container registry, making them accessible for deployment.
