Heroku buildpack: Python

DEPRECATED

The official heroku python buildpack has pip 8 included by default. You should use it an the new requirements file with hashes format.

This is a fork of the Heroku buildpack for Python apps, powered by pip and peep.

Usage

The only additional thing you need to do to use this over the official Heroku Python buildpack is to add the hashes to your requirements file(s) so that peep will successfully complete the install. If you don't do this peep will fail and give a good explanation as to why.

Example usage:

$ ls
Procfile  requirements.txt  web.py

$ heroku create --buildpack git://github.com/pmclanahan/heroku-buildpack-python-peep.git

$ git push heroku master
...
-----> Python app detected
-----> Installing runtime (python-2.7.10)
-----> Installing dependencies using peep
       Downloading requests==2.7.0 (470K)...
       Processing /tmp/peep-PWtR4d/requests-2.7.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
       Installing collected packages: requests
       Successfully installed requests-2.7.0
       Cleaning up...
-----> Discovering process types
       Procfile declares types -> (none)

You can also add it to upcoming builds of an existing application:

$ heroku buildpacks:set git://github.com/pmclanahan/heroku-buildpack-python-peep.git

The buildpack will detect your app as Python if it has the file requirements.txt in the root.

It will use Peep 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-3.5.0

Runtime options include:

• python-2.7.10
• python-3.5.0
• pypy-2.6.1 (unsupported, experimental)
• pypy3-2.4.0 (unsupported, experimental)

Other unsupported runtimes are available as well.
