Since the stack is end of life and builds have been disabled: https://devcenter.heroku.com/changelog-items/1943 There are only two temporarily exempted customers using Python, who can switch to the Cedar-14 support branch if they still need to build their Python apps (most of which haven't been built recently). Closes @W-8054727@.
Python Buildpack Install Steps
TODO: Add context on Python install steps, such as why symlinking vs copying
Installing Python packages using Pip
Convention: Use python process to invoke Pip
We don't use this convention (yet) but this is an upcoming change being considered.
This is a bigger concern on Windows than it is in Linux environments, but an emerging convention in the Python community is to invoke pip using:
python3 -m pip [options]
Invoking pip this way ensures correct location - python knows where these packages are stored because it put them there (defaults to Python's pathing info).
All normal command line options are available using this method.
