The standalone Geo buildpack offers more modern GDAL/GEOS/PROJ library versions, and can be used by apps in all languages, not just Python: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-geo-buildpack As such the Python buildpack's undocumented built-in support was deprecated back in April 2020, with a scheduled removal date of 6th October 2020: https://devcenter.heroku.com/changelog-items/1759 https://help.heroku.com/D5INLB1A/python-s-build_with_geo_libraries-legacy-feature-is-now-deprecated Metrics show very few builds continuing to use the built-in support. Apps with the `BUILD_WITH_GEO_LIBRARIES` env var set will now be shown a warning directing them to the standalone buildpack, as well as apps that hit GDAL related pip install errors but aren't using the env var. This also moves us one step closer to being able to remove the vendored copy of pip-pop (which is partially broken on newer pip). Closes @W-7654424@.
Heroku Buildpack: Python
This is the official Heroku buildpack for Python apps.
Recommended web frameworks include Django and Flask, among others. 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.
Python packages with C dependencies that are not available on the stack image are generally not supported, unless manylinux wheels are provided by the package maintainers (common). For recommended solutions, check out this article for more information.

A requirements.txt must be present at the root of your application's repository to deploy.
To specify your python version, you also need a runtime.txt file - unless you are using the default Python runtime version.
Current default Python Runtime: Python 3.6.12
Alternatively, you can provide a setup.py file, or a Pipfile.
Using pipenv will generate runtime.txt at build time if one of the field python_version or python_full_version is specified in the requires section of your Pipfile.
Specify a Buildpack Version
You can specify the latest production release of this buildpack for upcoming builds of an existing application:
$ heroku buildpacks:set heroku/python
Specify a Python Runtime
Supported runtime options include:
python-3.9.0python-3.8.6python-3.7.9python-3.6.12python-2.7.18
Tests
The buildpack tests use Docker to simulate Heroku's stack images.
To run the test suite against the default stack:
make test
Or to test against a particular stack:
make test STACK=heroku-16
To run only a subset of the tests:
make test TEST_CMD=tests/versions
The tests are run via the vendored shunit2 test framework.
