Here is how you can use wget to fetch and install a nano lib or binary or whatever it was called and then use it in to edit a file in the python:latest image.

$ cd ~
$ wget http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.4/nano-2.4.2.tar.gz

$ tar -xzf nano-2.4.2.tar.gz
$ cd nano-2.4.2
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install  # removed sudo from this line

test it

$ touch file
$ nano file
# close with `ctrl+z enter`
$ rm file # delete that test file

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install nano
