This is a Heroku buildpack for Python apps, powered by pip.

This extends the normal Python/Django buildpack with installing the Maxmind GeoIP C Library and downloading the GeoIP City Database. Using Django, you'd only have to include the following in your settings:

GEOIP_PATH = '/app/GeoLiteCity.dat' 

Example usage:

$ ls Procfile requirements.txt web.py $ heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack git://github.com/Bouke/heroku-buildpack-python-geoip.git $ git push heroku master ... -----> Fetching custom git buildpack... done -----> Python app detected -----> No runtime.txt provided; assuming python-2.7.4. -----> Using Python runtime (python-2.7.4) -----> Installing Maxmind GeoIP C Library GeoIP City Database is available at: /app/GeoLiteCity.dat -----> Installing dependencies using Pip (1.3.1) Cleaning up... 

You can also add it to upcoming builds of an existing application:

$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=git://github.com/Bouke/heroku-buildpack-python-geoip.git 

The buildpack will detect your app as Python if it has the file requirements.txt in the root.

It will use Pip to install your dependencies, vendoring a copy of the Python runtime into your slug.

You can also provide arbitrary releases Python with a runtime.txt file.

$ cat runtime.txt python-3.3.2 

Runtime options include:

• python-2.7.4
• python-3.3.2
• pypy-1.9 (experimental)
