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

This buildpack supports running Django and Flask apps.

Example usage:

$ ls Procfile requirements.txt web.py $ heroku create --buildpack git://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.git $ git push heroku master ... -----> Python app detected -----> Installing runtime (python-2.7.11) -----> Installing dependencies using pip Downloading/unpacking requests (from -r requirements.txt (line 1)) Installing collected packages: requests Successfully installed requests Cleaning up... -----> Discovering process types Procfile declares types -> (none) 

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

$ heroku buildpacks:set git://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.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-3.5.0 

Runtime options include:

• python-2.7.11
• python-3.5.1
• pypy-4.0.1 (unsupported, experimental)
• pypy3-2.4.0 (unsupported, experimental)

Other unsupported runtimes are available as well.
