# 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/), [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.
Python packages with C dependencies that are not [available on the stack image](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/stack-packages) are generally not supported, unless `manylinux` wheels are provided by the package maintainers (common). For recommended solutions, check out [this article](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-c-deps) for more information.

Deploying a Python application couldn't be easier:
$ ls
Pipfile Pipfile.lock Procfile web.py
$ heroku create --buildpack heroku/python
$ git push heroku master
-----> Python app detected
-----> Installing python-3.6.6
-----> Installing pip
-----> Installing requirements with Pipenv 2018.5.18…
...
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 in your `Pipfile`:
[requires]
python_version = "2.7"
Or, more specifically:
[requires]
python_full_version = "2.7.15"
Or, with a `runtime.txt` file:
$ cat runtime.txt
python-2.7.15
Runtime options include:
- `python-3.7.0`
- `python-3.6.6`
- `python-2.7.15`
