# Heroku Buildpack: Python
![buildpack_python](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/51578/13116296/5f4058f0-d569-11e5-8129-bffd7be091e6.jpg)
This is a [Heroku buildpack](http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks) for Python apps, powered by [pip](http://www.pip-installer.org/).
This buildpack supports running Django and Flask apps.
Usage
-----
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 python-2.7.11
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
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 heroku/python
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.
Specify a Runtime
-----------------
You can also specify specific versions of the Python runtime with a `runtime.txt` file:
$ cat runtime.txt
python-3.5.1
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](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/tree/master/builds/runtimes) are available as well.
