The Python Build Pack (PBP) is a build pack for running Python and Django
apps on Heroku.

## Usage

with packages to install via pip.

External Build Pack
----------------------
Cutting-edge development is taking place in this repo. To use this on Heroku,
set a `BUILDPACK_URL` config var with a fully authenticated URL to this repo:

$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://nzoschke:XXXXXXX@github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.git
## Hacking

To change this buildpack, fork it on GitHub. Push up changes to your
fork, then create a test app with `--buildpack YOUR_GITHUB_URL` and
push to it. If you already have an existing app you may use
`heroku config add BUILDPACK_URL=YOUR_GITHUB_URL` instead.

For example, you could adapt it to use pypy at build time.... to be continued

On next push, slug-compiler will use this BP instead of the built-in one.
