Cleaning up...
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.
You can also provide arbitrary releases Python with a runtime.txt file.
$ cat runtime.txt
python-3.3.0
Runtime options include:
- python-2.7.4
- python-3.3.1
- pypy-1.9 (experimental)
