Ed Morley 8cb379f83b Add support for latest CPython and PyPy versions (#977)
Adds support for:
* CPython 2.7.18, 3.5.9, 3.7.7 and 3.8.3
* PyPy 2.7 and 3.6, version 7.3.1

The binaries will need generating and uploading before CI will pass.

Note: Whilst the build script for CPython 3.8.3 did already exist in the
repository, it appears to have been accidentally created in #920, which
predated the existence of that version of Python - so the binaries do
not exist on S3.

The Heroku-18 Docker image tag has also been unpinned, since the new
libssl version is now available at runtime in all environments, so we
don't need to force building against the older version of the headers.

Fixes W-7582174.

# 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.
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](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.

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 3.6.9
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-3.8.3`
- `python-3.7.7`
- `python-3.6.10`
- `python-2.7.18`
## Tests
The buildpack tests use [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) to simulate
Heroku's [stack images.](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/stack)
To run the test suite:
```
make test
```
Or to test in a particular stack:
```
make test-heroku-18
make test-heroku-16
```
The tests are run via the vendored
[shunit2](https://github.com/kward/shunit2)
test framework.
