Heroku buildpack: Python
========================
This is a [Heroku buildpack](http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks) for Python apps, powered by [pip](http://www.pip-installer.org/).
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 runtime (python-2.7.8)
-----> Installing dependencies using pip
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 config:add BUILDPACK_URL=git://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.git
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 provide arbitrary releases Python with a `runtime.txt` file.
$ cat runtime.txt
python-3.4.2
Runtime options include:
- python-2.7.8
- python-3.4.2
- pypy-2.4.0 (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.
