# Heroku Buildpack: Python
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the official [Heroku buildpack](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks) for Python apps, powered by [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.
|
|
|
|
Some Python packages with obscure C dependencies (e.g. scipy) are [not compatible](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-c-deps).

|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Deploying a Python application couldn't be easier:
|
|
|
|
$ ls
|
|
Procfile requirements.txt web.py
|
|
|
|
$ heroku create --buildpack heroku/python
|
|
|
|
$ git push heroku master
|
|
...
|
|
-----> Python app detected
|
|
-----> Installing python-2.7.11
|
|
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
Collecting requests (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
|
|
Downloading requests-2.9.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (501kB)
|
|
Installing collected packages: requests
|
|
Successfully installed requests-2.9.1
|
|
|
|
-----> Discovering process types
|
|
Procfile declares types -> (none)
|
|
|
|
A `requirements.txt` file 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 with a `runtime.txt` file:
|
|
|
|
$ cat runtime.txt
|
|
python-3.5.1
|
|
|
|
Runtime options include:
|
|
|
|
- `python-2.7.11`
|
|
- `python-3.5.1`
|
|
- `pypy-5.0.1` (unsupported, experimental)
|
|
|
|
Other [unsupported runtimes](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/tree/master/builds/runtimes) are available as well. Use at your own risk.
