This is a Heroku buildpack for Python apps, powered by pip.
This extends the normal Python/Django buildpack with installing the Maxmind GeoIP C Library and downloading the GeoIP City Database. Using Django, you'd only have to include the following in your settings:
GEOIP_PATH = '/app/GeoLiteCity.dat'
Example usage:
$ ls
Procfile requirements.txt web.py
$ heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack git://github.com/Bouke/heroku-buildpack-python-geoip.git
$ git push heroku master
...
-----> Fetching custom git buildpack... done
-----> Python app detected
-----> No runtime.txt provided; assuming python-2.7.4.
-----> Using Python runtime (python-2.7.4)
-----> Installing Maxmind GeoIP C Library
GeoIP City Database is available at: /app/GeoLiteCity.dat
-----> Installing dependencies using Pip (1.3.1)
Cleaning up...
You can also add it to upcoming builds of an existing application:
$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=git://github.com/Bouke/heroku-buildpack-python-geoip.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-3.3.2
Runtime options include:
- python-2.7.4
- python-3.3.2
- pypy-1.9 (experimental)
