# Heroku Buildpack: Python
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python)
This is the official [Heroku buildpack](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks) for Python apps, powered by [Pipenv](http://docs.pipenv.org/en/latest/), [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/) and other excellent software.
Recommended web frameworks include **Django** and **Flask**. The recommended webserver is **Gunicorn**. There are no restrictions around what software can be used (as long as it's pip-installable). Web processes must bind to `$PORT`, and only the HTTP protocol is permitted for incoming connections.
Some Python packages with obscure C dependencies are [not compatible](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-c-deps).

----------------
Deploying a Python application couldn't be easier:
$ ls
Pipfile Procfile web.py
$ heroku create --buildpack heroku/python
$ git push heroku master
-----> Python app detected
-----> Installing python-3.6.3
-----> Installing pip
-----> Installing requirements with latest pipenv…
...
Installing dependencies from Pipfile…
-----> Discovering process types
Procfile declares types -> (none)
A `Pipfile` or `requirements.txt` must be present at the root of your application's repository.
You can also specify the latest production release of this buildpack for upcoming builds of an existing application:
$ heroku buildpacks:set heroku/python
Specify a Python Runtime
------------------------
Specific versions of the Python runtime can be specified with a `runtime.txt` file:
$ cat runtime.txt
python-2.7.14
Or, with a `Pipfile.lock` (generated from the following `Pipfile`):
[requires]
python_version = "2.7"
Or, more specifically:
[requires]
python_full_version = "2.7.14"
Runtime options include:
- `python-3.6.3`
- `python-2.7.14`
- `pypy-5.7.1` (unsupported, experimental)
- `pypy3-5.5.1` (unsupported, experimental)
